Noctua confirms its NL-LC1 AIOs will also be available in chromax.black

Noctua confirmed the upcoming release of its “NL-LC1 chromax.black series” AIO liquid coolers via its official YouTube account. In response to a user query, the company stated that the all-black variant is planned for release around the end of the year, even though it hasn't been mentioned in the updated roadmap.

Wccftech was the first to spot Noctua's comment on YouTube. Standard configurations for the original NL-LC1 series, launched on June 16th (and our review HERE), represent the brand's very first foray into the all-in-one liquid cooling market and are available in 240mm, 360mm, and 420mm sizes. Noctua equips the 240mm and 360mm versions with NF-A12x25 G2 fans, while the larger 420mm unit uses NF-A14x25 G2 fans.

All three models are built around the Asetek Emma V2 platform and include the custom NL-PNA1 pump noise absorber. The integrated pump firmware features three selectable speed profiles: quiet, balanced, and manual. Each package also contains a tube of NT-H2 thermal paste and comes backed by a 6-year manufacturer's warranty.

Pricing for the existing standard models is set at $219.90/€219.90 for the NL-LC1-24, $249.90/€249.90 for the NL-LC1-36, and $279.90/€279.90 for the NL-LC1-42. Buyers can also pick up the optional NL-ACF1 auxiliary fan for $19.90 to replace the magnetic pump faceplate. For the chromax.black, pricing should be slightly higher, as usual for the series.

KitGuru says: An all-black chromax.black version of the NL-LC1 will be a welcome option for builders who want Noctua's liquid-cooling performance without the traditional brown-and-beige aesthetic.
