In addition to the thermosiphon liquid cooler project, Noctua also brought several upcoming air CPU coolers and fans to the Computex 2024 show, including the new NH-D15 G2, the NF-A14x25 G2, as well as next-generation dual-tower 120 mm CPU cooler and next-generation 120 mm fan.
The new NH-D15 G2 is the upgraded version of the popular NH-D15, which now gets a new fin stacks with reduced fin pitch, leaving it with 20 percent more surface area, 8 heatpipes (instead of 6 on the NH-D15), new fans with both higher performance and acoustic optimization, and offset design for better PCI clearance. It will use Noctua's Torx based SecuFirm2+ mounting system with offset option for AM5, as well as come bundled with NT-H2 thermal paste, NA-TPG1 thermal paste guard for AM5, and NA-ISW1 shim-washers for improved contact on LGA1700 sockets. Noctua will launch three different versions, the standard version with medium base convexity, as well as two new versions LBC and HBC, with low base and high base convexity. The new NH-D15 G2 should launch later this month.
Noctua also showcased the new NF-A14x25 G2 fans, which will be available in round frame, square frame, and chromax.black versions, all with proven SS02 bearing and Advanced Acoustic Optimisation (AAO) frame design. It uses the new progressive-bend impeller made from Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer, providing much higher efficiency blade area. It also uses centrifugal turbulator hub for better flow attachment and fluid distribution across the impeller, and features winglets that should further reduce vortices and increase efficiency. Noctua also reduced the tip clearance down to 0.7 mm, which gives it better performance on heatsinks and radiators. Noctua expects the standard round frame version to launch later this month, while square frame version comes in September and the chromax.black version will launch early next year.
In addition to these two, Noctua showcased two new future products, the next-gen 120 mm fan, which will improve the performance of the popular NF-A12x25 and use the same design and feature set as the upcoming NF-A14x25 G2 fan. Noctua aims to further reduce tip clearance down to 0.5 mm, and use a whole new etaPERF motor with Smooth Commutation Drive 2 for superb running smoothness and SupraTorque for additional torque headroom. The new fan should launch early next year, according to Noctua. Noctua also showcased the next-generation dual tower 120 mm CPU cooler, coming in Q2 next-year. The new CPU cooler aims to offer the same level of performance as the NH-D15 but in a 120 mm form-factor. It will pack 8 heatpipes and use the showcased next-generation 120 mm fans.
