Noctua’s First AIO Is Here - And It’s The Quietest We’ve Tested

Noctua has finally entered the all-in-one liquid cooling market with the new NL-LC1 series, bringing its renowned focus on acoustics, build quality and reliability to the world of AIO coolers. In this review, James takes a detailed look at the Noctua NL-LC1-36, the 360mm model in the range. Built around Asetek’s latest platform and paired with Noctua’s premium NF-A12x25 G2 fans, the LC1-36 promises top-tier thermal performance while prioritising low noise operation above all else. We examine the design, installation process, build quality, features, thermal performance and acoustic performance to find out whether Noctua’s first liquid cooler lives up to the company’s reputation and how it compares against some of the best 360mm AIO coolers currently available.
