We'll have to wait a few more months to enjoy Noctua's first AiO watercooling kit.
A specialist in PC cooling, Noctua has until now confined itself to offering "air-cooled" cooler models. By this we mean ventirads, i.e. radiators simply topped by one or two fans. The best models from the Austrian brand have virtually no equivalent on the market, and delight their users despite costing considerably more than the competition.

A small revolution at the latest Computex in Taipei, Noctua confirmed the many rumours that the company was working on its first water-cooled model, an AiO watercooling kit. What's more, the company presented the product - or rather products - in question, highlighting its collaboration with Asetek, the company responsible for the pump, a G8 V2 model. Noctua actually announced three variants of the same product, with a 240 mm, 360 mm or 420 mm radiator. Each radiator is of course paired with Noctua fans - you're never better served than by yourself - in this case NF-A12x25 G2 (120 mm diameter) or NF-A14x25 G2 (140 mm).

At the time of this Computex 2025 presentation, Noctua had not given a price for its three products, but had indicated that they would be marketed during the first quarter of next year. Alas, today the tone is different, and while there's still no question of giving any details as to the prices envisaged, Noctua is no longer counting on a launch in the second quarter of 2026. The company is also taking the opportunity to unveil a new, more global roadmap. So we'll have to wait and see whether or not Noctua is capable of revolutionizing watercooling.
