Noctua Shows Ampere Altra and NVIDIA GH200 CPU Coolers at Computex 2024

Noctua unveiled its new Ampere Altra family of CPU coolers for Ampere Altra and Altra Max Arm processors at the Computex 2024 show, as well as the upcoming NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper superchip cooler. In addition, it also showcased its new cooperation with Seasonic with PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition power supply and a rather unique Kaelo wine cooler.

In addition to the new and upcoming standard CPU coolers and fans, Noctua also unveiled the new Ampere Altra family of CPU coolers at the Computex 2024 show, aimed to be used with recently launched Ampere Altra and Altra Max Arm processors with up to 128 cores. The new Noctua Ampere Altra CPU coolers are based on the proven models for Intel Xeon and AMD Threadripper or EPYC platforms. The Noctua Ampere Altra family of CPU coolers use Noctua's SecuFirm2 mounting system for LGA4926 socket and come with pre-applied NT-H2 thermal paste. According to Noctua, these provide exceptional performance and whisper-quiet operation which are ideal for Arm based workstations in noise-sensitive environments. The Ampere Altra lineup should be already available over at Newegg. In addition, Nocuta has unveiled its new prototype of NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper superchip cooler, which integrates two custom NH-U12A heatsinks in order to cool both the Grace CPU and Hopper GPU. It supports up to 1,000 W of heat emissions, and aimed at noise-sensitive environments like local HPC applications and self-hosted open source LLMs. The NVIDIA GH200 cooler is expected in Q4 this year and offered to clients on pre-order basis.
Noctua also teamed up with Seasonic for the new PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition power supply with 80 Plus Titanium rating. It uses Noctua's NF-A12x25 fan that should provide 8 to 10 dB lower noise levels, semi-passive operation, which does not spin the fan up under 50 percent load, has ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 certification, and fully-modular design with Noctua-themed sleeved cabling. Showing that it can do more than just PC hardware, Noctua was also showing off the Kaelo wine cooler, which uses NF-P14r 140 mm fan with TEC-based cooling. It is designed to be integrated into bars, tables, countertops and other surfaces and features a boost mode that can chill bottles by 3 to 4 degrees, and a precise temperature control. The Kaelo wine cooler is already available directly from the company.

I wish they'd get into making custom GPU heatsinks. Almost no one is doing that now. I remember using multiple old Arctic Accelero heat sinks and the Scythe Setsugen 2.

But nowadays with 600W cards it's probably only worth using custom GPU coolers if you go for watercooling, or deshroud them and zip tie 120mm fans.

Custom gpu coolers dead long time ago, since graphic card makers provides great cooling solutions on their own for relatively small price premium and without any risk to damage card or do something wrong during installation of custom cooler. Also if you want card with noctua cooler, they collaborate with asus, so just buy it when you plan upgrade.
