It has been more than a year since Noctua first showed off an AIO cooler donning its iconic brown and beige color scheme. That working prototype has now been developed into the NL-LC1, with the lineup on show at Computex 2026 in Taipei this week. It is due to be released on June 16 with 240mm, 360mm, and 420m radiator variants.

NL-LC1 was originally planned for a Q1 2026 release, so it’s nice to finally see it ready to launch. The AIO market is new ground for Noctua, which is best known for its high-quality air fans (and its iconic color scheme, though the Austrian brand did also release some new chromax.Black air fans recently, if you’re looking for something much more sleek).

Noctua NL-LC1 specs & price details revealed

The new NL-LC1 AIO water cooler utilizes Noctua’s highly rated NF-A12x25 G2 (120mm) fans for its 240mm and 360mm radiator models, while the larger 420mm variant utilizes 140mm NF-A14x25 G2 fans instead. More detailed specs below:

It’s important to note that US pricing is yet to be revealed, and we only have information regarding the European price points. As you can see below, there is a €30 gap between each of the three CPU coolers.

• NL-LC1-24 (240mm) – €219.90
• NL-LC1-36 (360mm) – €249.90
• NL-LC1-42 (420mm) – €279.90

As an extra for these three models, customers may also add an optional auxiliary fan (called the NL-ACF1) for an additional €20. The NL-ACF1 channels airflow to components such as your motherboard’s VRMs, RAM, and M.2 SSDs.
