Noctua has released an updated product roadmap outlining launch windows for hardware teased at Computex 2026. The updated roadmap shows that Noctua's new low-profile AM5 CPU cooler will be arriving next year, alongside new ‘Noctua Edition' power supplies from Seasonic. 

According to VideoCardz, the upcoming low-profile AM5 cooler features a 70mm height design based on the NH-L12 series. Noctua utilises six 6mm copper heat pipes, dense aluminium fins, and a 120mm NF-A12x25 G2 fan to dissipate heat. Additionally, the configuration preserves 35mm of RAM height clearance for Mini-ITX motherboard compatibility. According to the company, this cooler is officially slated for a Q2 2027 release window.

Closer releases based on the roadmap include the NT-CP1 carbon nanotube thermal pad for AM4 and AM5 sockets, launching in Q3 of this year alongside the Pulsar Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition mouse. A Noctua Edition of Thermal Grizzly's WireView Pro II monitoring tool is also scheduled for Q3 2026.

Lastly, the roadmap shows a 140mm desk fan and a USB fan controller for Q1 2027 and slots the Seasonic Prime PX Noctua Edition and the next-generation Seasonic Prime TX Noctua Edition power supplies into Q2 2027. Next-generation workstation CPU coolers share the same Q2 2027 timeline.

Thermal Grizzly launched its WireView Pro II tool in late 2025. Now the company is back with a new Wired edition, developed for maximum compatibility with current hardware.

Unlike other tools that measure total current, the WireView Pro II tracks values for each individual pin and wire in the 12V-2×6 connector. This allows immediate identification of uneven load distribution or faulty contacts. In addition to current, the device continuously monitors voltage, temperature, and overall power consumption. If preset thresholds are exceeded, users are alerted with on‑screen warnings and alarms.

The “Wired” version of the WireView Pro II is not plugged directly into the graphics card, but can instead be freely positioned inside the case thanks to a 40cm power cable with a 12V-2×6 connector. Below is the full feature set:

• Advanced version of the WireView Pro with additional functionality
• Per-pin current measurement for maximum monitoring precision
• Extended warranty with 2-year GPU connector coverage
• Automatic data logging for fault-case analysis
• 40 cm power cable with 12V-2×6 connector (GPU side)
• Numerous mounting options for increased compatibility
• Three cable combs on the power cable for cable management
• Full functionality possible without software
• Plug-and-play use possible without configuration
• CNC-machined aluminum housing with active cooling function
• Semi-passive 30 mm fan controlled by temperature and power consumption
• Temperature measurement at the input and output of the 12V-2×6 connector
• Two external 10k NTC temperature sensors included
• USB-C for user-performed firmware updates
• USB-C to USB 2.0 adapter cable for internal PC connection
• 320×170-pixel TFT-IPS color display
• Main View: per-pin monitoring, power consumption, connector detection,
• fan %, output temperature
• Simple View: total power consumption, pin with highest current, voltage, hottest sensor
• Current Monitor: per-pin current in amperes with visual limit indicator
• Voltage Monitor: per-pin voltage and average value
• Power Monitor: per-pin power and total power
• Temperature Monitor: display of all 4 temperature sensors
• Audible and visual warning messages when thresholds are exceeded
• Extensive display configuration options
• Global settings for alarms, Cycle Mode, design, and fan control

The new Wired version of the WireView Pro II is available through Thermal Grizzly's website now, priced at €149.90.

The ROG Equalizer doesn't work as advertised as discovered by Der8auer in his latest demonstration. ROG Equalizer 12V-2x6 Cable Shows Large Current Imbalance On WireView Pro II While Removing the Bridge Improves Balancing It appears that ASUS's recently released ROG Equalizer 12V-2x6 cable might not be the solution for proper load balancing. ASUS explicitly advertised the ROG Equalizer cable as a component that does better load balancing than regular 12V-2x6 cables, but the testing by popular German YouTuber Der8auer reveals something interesting. Der8auer has made two videos on the connector, but his latest video finds out what makes the ROG […]
