Noctua aims to release its first liquid CPU cooler in 2026, working with Asetek to make the quietest water pump around, though it's not the thermosiphon project

Noctua, purveyor of ultra-quiet brown/beige fans and massive CPU coolers for twenty long years, has resolutely stayed away from one specific medium, when it comes to keeping chips cool: water. However, at this year's Computex 2025, Noctua showed the progress it's making with its liquid thermosiphon system, but that won't be the first to market: instead, it's going to be a collaboration with Asetek, and possibly be the quietest AIO liquid cooler you can buy.

The nameless-so-far product will be based around Asetek's best liquid cooler platform, the G8 V2, so it will be offered in 420, 360, and 240 mm radiator formats, all using the industry-standard 30 mm thickness.
