Noctua Launches NL-LC1 AIO Liquid CPU Coolers With Silent High-Performance Cooling

Expert Verified By

The cooling veteran enters new territory with a premium liquid cooler built for quiet performance.

[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.
