Noctua and Thermal Grizzly launch quieter GPU power monitor

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Thermal Grizzly and Noctua have collaborated to release a new version of their GPU power monitoring device, the WireView Pro II Noctua Edition. This updated device features a significantly quieter cooling solution, incorporating a Noctua NF-A4x10 fan and an enlarged aluminum housing. The fan operates semi-passively, remaining off until a GPU load of 300W is reached, and when active, it runs at under 2,000 RPM, reducing noise levels from 39.4dB(A) to 21.5dB(A). This enhancement aims to make the device virtually inaudible in quiet PC builds, addressing user feedback about the fan noise in previous iterations. AI

IMPACT Minimal impact on AI operations; this is a hardware accessory for PC components.

RANK_REASON This is an upgrade to an existing hardware accessory, not a core AI release or significant industry shift.
