A year after their Computex 2025 announcement, Noctua and Asetek have confirmed that their joint flagship AIO liquid coolers have completed the Production Validation Test (PVT) phase. This milestone marks the final hurdle before mass production, with both companies officially targeting a global retail launch in Q2 2026.

The heart of this high-end cooling solution is the Asetek Emma (G8) V2 pump, which operates at speeds up to 3,600 RPM. To align with Noctua's philosophy, the pump has been outfitted with a custom triple-layer noise-reduction cover that dampens both acoustics and structural vibrations. A physical switch on the AIO will let you toggle between different default speed settings.

For this collaboration, the brands are pairing Asetek's latest radiator technology with Noctua's G2 cooling fans. The Emma (G8) V2 radiators utilise a unique fin design that offers lower airflow resistance and is significantly less prone to dust accumulation over time. For the 120mm models, the award-winning NF-A12x25 G2 fans will be used. As for the 140mm models, the NF-A14x25 G2 fans will be paired with the cooler.

To ensure long-term stability, the coolers bypass typical software-only control in favour of an Asetek-customised analogue PWM controller tuned by Noctua. This hardware-level control ensures consistent fan and pump behaviour across different motherboard platforms without the bloat of proprietary software suites.

Installation is made easier thanks to Noctua's new SecuFirm2+ mounting system, which transitions to Torx T20 hardware for improved durability and ease of use. Crucially, the kit includes offset mounting options for both Intel (LGA 1700/1851) and AMD (AM4/AM5) sockets. By placing the cold plate directly over the CPU's primary hotspots, testing has confirmed a 1–3°C reduction in temperature compared to standard mounts.

KitGuru says: It is about time Noctua got into the AIO liquid cooler market. Are you thinking about picking one of these up when they become available?
