Noctua has confirmed that its long-awaited all-in-one liquid cooler, developed in partnership with Asetek, is almost ready for launch and should be coming in Q2 2026. The cooler has passed Production Validation Testing, meaning it has met both performance and manufacturing targets and is heading into full production.
According to Asetek’s announcement, caught by Overclock3d.net, the Austrian-based cooling company is not just going to use its own fans onto an off-the-shelf design, and while the unit is based on Asetek’s G8 V2 platform, Noctua is adding its own twist, including a triple-layer noise dampening setup designed to tame pump noise and vibrations, along with multiple performance profiles so users can tweak the balance between cooling and acoustics.
It is also pairing the cooler with its next-generation NF-A12x25 G2 and NF-A14x25 G2 fans, alongside a redesigned radiator using specially designed fins to improve airflow efficiency and keep noise levels down at lower speeds.
Of course, Noctua is bringing its SecuFirm2+ mounting system along for the ride, with support for both AMD and Intel platforms and some offset mounting tricks to better target modern CPU hotspots. The new AIO cooler is expected to come in 240mm, 360mm, and 420mm versions, and while pricing is still under wraps, this one is clearly aimed at the high-end market.

The Hot Take: With how hot these chips are was only time before they worked with Asetek. Still waiting on the thermo-siphon cooler they've been showing at trade shows. I want that 0 pump sound.
