Noctua and Pulsar Gaming Gears have officially introduced the new Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition gaming mouse. The new model combines Pulsar’s premium gaming mouse design with Noctua’s well-known cooling technology. It is made for gamers who want high performance, comfort, and a unique design in one device.

The Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition stands out with Noctua’s famous brown and beige color theme. The mouse uses a carbon composite shell with many small openings to keep it strong while reducing weight. Even with a built in cooling fan, the mouse weighs only 73 grams, making it suitable for long gaming sessions.

One of the biggest highlights is the built in Noctua NF-A4x10 40 mm fan. The fan pushes air directly toward the user’s palm to help reduce sweat during gameplay. This helps keep the hand cool and improves grip, especially during long and competitive gaming sessions. Users can choose from four fan speed levels or switch the fan off completely through a button shortcut or the web based software.

The mouse is also designed for serious gaming performance. It features Pulsar’s XS-2 optical sensor with up to 42,000 DPI sensitivity, an 8,000 Hz polling rate, and tracking speeds of up to 800 IPS. These specifications are designed to deliver fast response times and accurate movement in competitive games.

According to Noctua CEO Roland Mossig, the company saw strong interest when the first prototype was shown at Computex 2025. Engineers later carried out extensive testing to make sure the cooling fan could handle the fast movements and high forces created during intense gaming. The two companies also worked together to improve airflow while maintaining reliable performance.

Pulsar Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition pricing and availability

The Pulsar Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition is available now through Pulsar’s official online store and selected retailers worldwide. It is priced at $179.95 in the United States and €179.90 in Europe. With its active cooling system, premium build quality, and high-end gaming hardware, the new mouse offers something different for gamers looking for both comfort and performance.

Pulsar Gaming Gears has officially launched the Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition gaming mouse, pairing a light 73g gaming mouse, styled after Noctua's usual brown and beige colour scheme, along with an integrated 40mm fan to deliver active cooling to your palm.

Built using a perforated exoskeleton, the Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition houses an integrated Noctua NF-A4x10 40mm PWM fan with an SSO2 bearing design. This active ventilation system targets hand sweat during use, giving players four adjustable speed levels that can be toggled via button combinations or a web-based driver. Users can also turn off the fan completely if active cooling isn't required.

Underneath the shell, Pulsar equips the mouse with its XS-2 optical sensor. It supports an 8000Hz polling rate, up to 42000DPI resolution, 70G acceleration, and 800IPS tracking speed. Paired with the sensor, the Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition uses 100M-click rated proprietary optical switches and a premium alloy mouse wheel. Lastly, the mouse features 11-step LOD settings from 0.7mm to 1.7mm.

The mouse comes with a Link 8K receiver that provides hardware-level control through a dual-button interface: the DPI button offers instant sensitivity cycling, while the Function button can be remapped to manage polling rate, profiles, LOD, turbo mode, or debounce time. Pulsar lists the suggested retail price at $179.95/€179.90, with stock now available at official web stores and authorised resellers.

KitGuru says: An actively cooled mouse in Noctua's iconic colour scheme is certainly unique, though it'll be interesting to see how gamers respond to a fan inside a $180 mouse.

Thermal Performance Testing

To simulate thermal demand, we run the Cinebench R23 multi-thread benchmark and 3DMark Speed Way stress test simultaneously in a loop for 30 minutes to load the system fully. This gives the CPU and GPU enough time to reach constant steady-state temperature. With this data, we can compare how the system handles the thermal demand and measure peak noise levels.

Thermal performance is measured with the case in various configurations, such as the default, with the tempered glass left-hand side panel removed and with the front panel removed to see how these configurations affect the CPU and GPU temperature. During testing, only stock case fans are used unless otherwise specified. All water pumps are set to maximum RPM and fans are set to a custom RPM curve by the Motherboard software/BIOS.

All temperature measurements are presented as Deltas – meaning the ambient temperature has been deducted from the CPU temperature, giving us a Delta. Data shown in the charts represents the average component temperature over the length of the test as measured by HWiNFO, and then the last 15 minutes of the data are calculated to get the average. The ambient temperature during thermal tests is between 19-20⁰C.

Test System Specification:

• CPU – AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• Motherboard – MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk WiFi
• Graphics Card – Gigabyte RTX 5080 Gaming OC
• Memory – 32GB (2 x 16GB Modules) G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000
• Storage – 1TB Corsair MP600 Elite PCIE Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD
• CPU Cooler – Noctua NH-D15 G2 LBC
• Power Supply – Seasonic Focus GX-1000 ATX 3
• Case fans – Stock (Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 PWM / NF-A12x25 G2 PWM)
• Chassis – Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition
• Operating System – Windows 11 24H2

Thermal Performance Overview

We tested the case thermals using a Noctua NH-D15 G2 LBC / 360mm AIO as the exhaust at the top and with the case in several different fan configurations. The default configuration shown in the charts is with the Noctua NH-D15 G2 LBC CPU cooler, 3 x 140mm front intake fans, 2 x 120mm PSU shroud intake fans, 1 x 140mm rear exhaust fan and with all panels installed.

Thermal performance from the Flux Pro Noctua Edition is generally very strong. In the default configuration, CPU temperatures average 56°C over ambient, with the GPU at 45 °C. There is a clear improvement over the air-cooled setup when using a top-mounted 360mm AIO. This is due to the AIO's increased cooling power rather than any limitation of the case.

However, in the air-cooled setup, adding top fans as exhaust negatively affects CPU thermals, raising temperatures to 58°C, suggesting an airflow disruption. Adding a 120mm top intake fan can have a minor improvement in CPU temperature, but GPU temperature is unchanged with both top fan configurations, so leaving top fans out completely is fine.

GPU temperature remains consistent across most setups at around 45°C over ambient, highlighting the effectiveness of the case’s airflow design in the recommended configuration. Removing the PSU shroud fans leads to a small increase in GPU temperature at 48°C. Overall, the results show that the case performs best with balanced airflow in the default configuration, delivering solid all-around thermal performance.

Noise Output

Noise performance is fairly consistent across test configurations, with load noise at 46 dBA in the default setup, which doesn’t really change whether you switch to top intake or add extra exhaust fans. Noise shifts slightly when you remove the PSU shroud fans or install a top-mounted AIO, increasing to 48 dBA under load, suggesting those configurations introduce a bit of fan noise from the GPU cooler and from the AIO compared with the default configuration and using the D15 G2 air cooler.

Idle noise, however, is rock solid across the board at 36 dBA. Overall, it’s a pretty well-balanced acoustic in any configuration, but clearly best optimised in the recommended Noctua configuration.

Closing Thoughts

The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is a case that does exactly what it sets out to do — deliver strong airflow, great cooling and low noise performance. In testing, it handles both CPU and GPU thermals with ease, and more importantly, it manages to keep noise levels impressively low, not just at idle, but also under load. Something that case manufacturers don’t always get right with pre-installed fan configurations. However, the Noctua Fans are not pre-installed; this is the job of the user. They arrive in a separate box.

A big part of that comes down to the included Noctua fans. You’re getting a set of high-quality NF-A12x25 and NF-A14x25 G2 units, along with a Noctua fan hub, all designed to work together. Build quality is exactly what you’d expect from an Antec/Noctua partnership, and the colour scheme is carried throughout the case, giving it a very distinct look that suits the whole package very well and will no doubt please Noctua enthusiasts.

In terms of compatibility, there’s plenty to like here too, including support for dual 420mm radiator installation, as well as generous clearance for large air coolers such as the Noctua NH-D15 G2 and high-end graphics cards. So whether you’re building a high-performance air-cooled system or going all-in with liquid cooling, the Flux Pro has the space and layout to handle it. But this means the case is quite large with Full tower dimensions, not ideally suited to placement on top of the desk.

That said, it’s not without its downsides. At around £350, it’s a very expensive case; at that price, you start to expect a bit more in terms of features. There’s no integrated GPU support bracket, no back-connect motherboard support, and some of the internal panels — particularly the top and front fan mounting brackets could be more intuitive to remove. Even so, if your main priority is excellent cooling performance with low noise levels straight out of the box, the Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is a very capable, premium option.

The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is available to purchase now from Amazon priced at £348.90 HERE.

Pros: 

• Great thermal performance and low noise.
• Very high-quality fans included.
• Built-in fan hub.

Cons:

• Expensive.
• Missing basic key features such as an integrated GPU support arm, tool-free parts, and back-connect motherboard support.
• Fans are not pre-installed.

KitGuru says: If you have the cash to splash on a case and want a large chassis with great cooling and low noise, then this might be ideal, especially for Noctua enthusiasts. But in the current economic conditions, it could be money better spent on core system components.

The post Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition PC Case Review first appeared on KitGuru.

Antec and Noctua have partnered on a new Noctua Edition of the Flux Pro chassis, combining Antec’s high‑airflow design with Noctua’s latest flagship fans.

The Flux Pro is known for its ventilation and layout, but the Noctua Edition pushes its noise‑to‑performance efficiency further. Antec says the upgraded model can reduce noise levels by up to 8dB(A) while keeping component temperatures broadly unchanged. That improvement comes from the new G2‑series fans, which run significantly quieter at equivalent airflow and are tuned to avoid harmonic vibrations by offsetting adjacent fan speeds.

For additional acoustic control, the case includes Noctua’s NA‑AV4 anti‑vibration mounts. The Noctua Edition also integrates the NA‑FH1 fan hub, allowing all pre‑installed fans to be controlled through a single motherboard header. The hub arrives pre‑installed with extension cables already routed, reducing setup time for builders.

Beyond cooling, the Flux Pro’s reputation for build quality and flexibility remains intact. Its internal layout supports both air and water-cooled configurations, with ample space for high‑end GPUs, radiators and cable management. The Noctua Edition adds subtle exterior changes too, including dark‑brown accents, brown silicone grommets and discreet Noctua logos across the panels.

The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is available now priced at €399.90.
