Noctua has released its first liquid cooler, the NL-LC1-36, after a long anticipation from customers. While the cooler boasts exceptional silence and top-tier thermal performance, it is built upon Asetek's Gen8 V2 pump platform, a fact that may disappoint purists. Noctua has incorporated its own design elements, such as the Pump Noise Absorber (PNA1) and high-quality NF-A12x25 G2 fans, to enhance its quiet operation and aesthetics. AI
