Delay in Noctua's initial AIO liquid cooler launch, with the new unveiling now scheduled for Q2 2026; the company has disclosed a revised product plan, pushing the first release back from Q1 2026.
In a significant move, Austrian cooling solutions manufacturer Noctua has announced the release of its first AIO (All-in-One) liquid cooler, set to hit the market in Q2 2026. The news, initially slated for a Q1 release, has been pushed back slightly.
The cooler, priced in the premium category, is expected to retail at around $300 USD, according to murmurs at Computex. Noctua plans to compete on the basis of its cooling prowess, backed by a "nailing-the-basics" formula and a host of innovative features.
One such feature is Noctua's proprietary 3-layer sound dampening system, designed to ensure quiet operation. The cooler also boasts a "tuned-mass damper effect" for even quieter performance. To complement the cooler, Noctua will offer NF-A14x25 G2 (140mm) or NF-A12x25 G2 (120mm) fans. An optional 80 mm auxiliary fan is available for cooling surrounding components.
Noctua's AIO liquid cooler is based on Asetek's G8 V2 pump, a reliable choice in the industry. The cooler will be offered in three sizes: 240 mm, 360 mm, and 420 mm, catering to a wide range of system builds.
In terms of compatibility, the cooler uses the SecuFirm+ mounting system, ensuring it works with existing brackets. Noctua has also collaborated with several renowned tech brands, including Antec (case), Seasonic (power supply), and Pulsar (mouse). However, the company has not announced any further collaborations for the release of its AIO liquid cooler in Q2 2026.
