Cooling specialist Asetek has confirmed that its AIO liquid cooler built in collaboration with Noctua has passed Product Validation Testing (PVT), and is now ready for its planned Q2 2026 launch target. That means this cooler is meeting both brands’ product requirements and is awaiting mass production.
Showcased at Computex 2025, this yet-to-be-named AIO cooler is Noctua’s first attempt at liquid cooling. Back then, the brand was expecting it to be ready by Q1 2026, but the company says it was delayed until satisfactory performance was achieved. As a result, this model was pushed to Q2 2026, alongside other collaborations, such as the Seasonic Prime PX HPD Noctua Edition PSU.
Asetek has just confirmed that this target is still feasible, as the product’s final design has now been validated, and is only awaiting volume production and distribution. We’re already on the doorstep of Q2 2026, so that means we now won’t have to wait long – it should be out before the end of June, though we won’t mind seeing it arrive sooner.
Design-wise, this AIO cooler is based on Asetek’s Emma (G8) V2 pump, running at a nominal speed of approximately 3,600rpm (±300rpm). Noctua has worked with Asetek to improve several key aspects of this pump, including its noise profile. For instance, the new design covers the pump with three layers of acoustic dampening material, in addition to a tuned-mass damper and a floating silicone mount to absorb vibrations. Noctua is so confident in the final product that it reckons it’s quieter than any competitor.
On top of that, you’ll find a dedicated mode switch that lets you choose between three different pump speed profiles, allowing you to fine-tune performance-to-noise characteristics. Noctua and Asetek went as far as to tune the analogue PWM controller to deliver greater stability and durability compared to typical software-based controls.
On the radiator side, the cooler either comes with Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 or NF-A12x25 G2 fans, depending on whether it’s a 420mm, 360mm, or 240mm model. Additionally, all models get access to an optional 80mm fan for the pump cover, which can cool the motherboard VRMs if needed. All these blowers will also be configured with offset speed to reduce beat frequency resonance. Lastly, the radiator uses a non-louvred fin design, which is said to enable smoother airflow and stronger performance during low-noise operation.
While pricing remains to be determined, Noctua has previously confirmed that this AIO cooler will be compatible with its SecuFirm2+ mounting system, which improves heat transfer by centring the base plate closer to the CPU’s hotspot.
