What’s new from Noctua?
* Market debut – the company announced the launch of its LCS at Computex 2025.
* Technology base – NL‑LC1 was not developed from scratch; they are optimized versions of Asetek Emma (G8) V2.
* Water block cover – Noctua calls it NL‑PNA1 and added a three‑layer soundproofing plus a mass damper, reducing noise and vibration. At Computex 2026 the company will show this cover in its own design (without the damper) and compare it with competitors.

Pump
* Operates in three modes: quiet, balanced, and manual.
* Minimum speed – 750 rpm, but you can set a maximum frequency and the transition point from minimum to higher speed.
* The pump automatically turns on when the temperature exceeds 45 °C.

Fans
ModelQuantity in systemSizeNF‑A14x25 G23140 mm (LC1‑42)NF‑A12x25 G22/3120 mm (LC1‑24 / LC1‑36)
Fans run at different speeds to avoid resonance and noise.

SecuFirm2+ mounting
* The new mounting system allows using the same bracket as for air coolers.
* This simplifies installation and ensures compatibility with various platforms.
* The ability to adjust offset helps achieve even lower temperatures.

Additional features
* When connecting an LCS, you can install an 80‑mm fan to cool the power supply, RAM, and the first M.2 SSD slot.
* Although it adds some noise, the overall design remains quieter than the original Asetek system.

Thus, Noctua offers a fully ready line of liquid cooling systems with thoughtful details: from soundproofing and damping to flexible mounting and automatic pump control. All models are already available for sale on June 16 at the listed prices.
