Noctua and Asetek Ready to Launch Flagship AIO Liquid Coolers in Q2 2026
Noctua and Asetek have announced that their collaborative flagship AIO liquid coolers have successfully completed the Production Validation Test (PVT) phase. This critical milestone confirms both the thermal performance and manufacturing readiness of the latest cooling solutions, which are now targeted for a market launch in the second quarter of 2026.
The heart of this new cooling system is the Asetek Emma (G8) V2 pump, which operates at a nominal speed of approximately 3,600 RPM (±300 RPM). To align with Noctua’s stringent acoustic standards, the pump is equipped with a triple-layer noise-reduction cover designed to minimize both air-borne noise and structure-borne vibrations. To provide users with greater control over their system’s acoustics, a dedicated mode switch allows for the selection of three different pump speed profiles, enabling a precise balance between cooling performance and noise levels.
Thermal efficiency has been further optimized through a specialized pairing of hardware. The system integrates Noctua’s award-winning NF-A12x25 G2 and NF-A14x25 G2 fans with Asetek Emma (G8) V2 radiators. These radiators feature a non-louvered fin design, which reduces airflow resistance and allows for strong thermal performance even when fans are running at lower speeds. The non-louvered design is intended to minimize dust accumulation, supporting consistent cooling efficiency over the long term.
On the installation side, the coolers will feature Noctua’s SecuFirm2+ mounting system, ensuring full compatibility with existing Noctua components. The design also includes offset mounting options specifically engineered to align with the heat concentration zones of both AMD and Intel CPUs, a feature that has been validated through benchmark testing to optimize thermal output.
First announced during Computex 2025, this partnership marks a significant fusion of Asetek’s liquid cooling leadership and Noctua’s expertise in low-noise thermal management. The upcoming release signals a push toward high-efficiency cooling that does not compromise on acoustic comfort, reflecting a broader trend in the digital economy toward more sustainable and user-centric hardware design.
