[Press Release] Noctua has entered the all-in-one liquid CPU cooler market with the new NL-LC1 series, bringing its focus on quiet operation, reliability, and premium cooling performance to closed-loop liquid cooling.
The NL-LC1 lineup is built on Asetek’s Emma V2 platform and combines Noctua’s acoustic engineering with high-performance cooling hardware. The company designed the series to deliver strong thermal performance while maintaining the low-noise experience its fans are known for.
A major feature of the NL-LC1 series is Noctua’s custom NL-PNA1 pump noise absorber. Using a three-layer acoustic structure and tuned-mass damper technology, it reduces both pump vibrations and airborne noise.
The integrated pump also offers three operating modes:
- Quiet mode: Prioritizes near-silent operation.
- Balanced mode: Provides a mix of performance and noise control.
- Manual mode: Allows users to adjust pump speeds manually.
The NL-LC1 series uses Noctua’s latest NF-A12x25 G2 and NF-A14x25 G2 fans to improve airflow and radiator performance. The fans include speed-offset tuning to reduce unwanted humming and vibration caused by frequency interference.
The coolers will be available in three radiator sizes:
| Model | Size | Price |
|---|---|---|
| NL-LC1-24 | 240mm | EUR 219.90 / USD 219.90 |
| NL-LC1-36 | 360mm | EUR 249.90 / USD 249.90 |
| NL-LC1-42 | 420mm | EUR 279.90 / USD 279.90 |
Noctua is also launching the NL-ACF1 auxiliary cooling fan, which can replace the pump noise absorber faceplate to provide additional airflow around VRMs, RAM modules, and M.2 SSDs.
The NL-LC1 includes Noctua’s SecuFirm2+ mounting system for easier installation and broad socket support, along with NT-H2 thermal paste for improved heat transfer.
Backed by a six-year manufacturer warranty, the NL-LC1 series targets PC enthusiasts looking for a premium AIO cooler that balances performance, silence, and reliability.
The Noctua NL-LC1 series and NL-ACF1 accessory are available through Noctua’s official Amazon stores, with other retailers receiving stock shortly.
