We test Noctuaβs first attempt at an all-in-one liquid cooler, focusing specifically on pump performance to determine whether Noctuaβs AIO is truly a viable alternative to swapping the fans on another unit and the brandβs own legendary air cooler.
Noctua just dropped its NL-LC1 AIO coolers on Amazon, with the 240mm option starting at $219.95. It also comes with an optional 80mm auxiliary fan to help keep other components cooler and reduce case fan speed.
The MSI MPG Coreliquid P22 360 is a new AIO with a low price tag, strong thermal performance, and a 2.1-inch IPS display. Weβve tested this liquid cooler paired with AMDβs Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU to benchmark thermal efficiency.
Noctua is officially entering the AIO market on June 16 with its new "NL-LC1" liquid cooler that starts at 220 EUR (around $250) for the 240mm variant. It features a customized Asetek Emma V2 pump with a lot of soundproofing, NF-A12x25 G2 or NF-A14x25 G2 fans and SecuFirm2+ mounting.
