Noctua at Computex 2025: Air Cooled Mouse, Low Noise AIO CLC, Co-branded Products

[btarunr]

Noctua at the 2025 Computex brought several innovative new products to show us. We begin our tour with the various co-branded products. Noctua and ASUS have been co-branding graphics cards for a few years now, and their partnership continues with the ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition, which comes with a cooling solution that's been designed and tuned for low noise by Noctua. They've done a fantastic job with their RTX 40-series Noctua Edition cards, and we're confident their excellence will hold with the RTX 50-series, too.

Next up, is the Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition case. A variant of the Flux Pro case Antec launched in August 2024, this case comes not just with Noctua's color theme, but also pre-installed premium Noctua fans, which include the NF-A14x25 G2 140 mm spinners in the front, and NF-A12x25 G2 120 mm at the rear. Noctua has tested the case with these fans for substantially lower noise levels than the stock fans the original Flux Pro comes with. All fans are installed with anti-vibration mounts, and the case comes with a pre-installed Noctua NA-FH1 fan hub, with factory wiring for the pre-installed fans. The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is expected to launch in Q4-2025.



We now move on to the Seasonic Prime PX HPD Noctua Edition, a co-branded power supply based on the upcoming Prime PX HPD (high power density) series that offer Wattage variants of 850 W, 1000 W, and 1200 W, but with a PSU body depth of just 125 mm, relying on a 120 mm fan to keep cool. This PSU integrates a Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 120 mm fan, and Seasonic's new OptiSink 2.0 passive heatsinks for the various hot components inside. The PSU offers 80 Plus Platinum switching efficiency, ATX 3.1 + PCIe 5.1 compliance, and at least one 600 W-capable 12V2x6 connector on all models. Noctua expects this model to come out in Q2-2026.



The fourth and final co-branded product is the Pulsar x Feinman Noctua Edition. This mouse is based on the Pulsar Feinman F01, but with an integrated 40 mm Noctua NF-A4x10 5-Volt PWM fan that directs airflow to your palm. All other specs of the mouse carry forward, including its awesome 32,000 dpi sensor with 8 kHz polling rate, and a magnesium alloy-based body, albeit in Noctua colors. The wireless mouse includes a USB-C charging dock. Noctua expects this mouse to release in November 2025.



We now move on to core Noctua products, starting with the NF-A12x25 G2 120 mm fan, with a highly optimized P/Q curve, SSO2 hydraulic bearings, extremely tight impeller tip clearance with the hub that makes this practically an axial airflow fan. This fan comes in an all-black variant, and one in Noctua's color scheme. Both are functionally identical.



Next up, is an upcoming untitled all-in-one liquid CPU cooler. This cooler is based on an Asetek G8 V2 platform that's been heavily optimized by Noctua. Some of the innovations include a pump-noise absorber, SecuFirm 2+ retention module, an 80 mm fan attachment on the pump-block to cool the VRM and memory areas using the Coanda effect; and the inclusion of premium Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 (140 mm) or NF-A12x25 G2 (120 mm) fans, depending on the model. Noctua expects this AIO CLC to come out in Q1-2026.



The star attraction in the Noctua booth is its prototype Thermosiphon technology-based liquid CPU cooler. This is a liquid CPU cooler that does away with a mechanical pump to circulate coolant, and instead relies on the Thermosiphon technology, where a temperature differential moves the coolant around the loop. We get the sense that the biggest chunk of Noctua's engineering effort is directed to getting this product right. The company hasn't announced a release date.

Water cooled mouse when?

 

[Chaitanya]

Keyboards, mice and gamepads with fans have been done before and they actually are useful addition and except for keyboards fans inside mice and gamepads were difficult to replace.

 

[clopezi]

Water cooled mouse when?

Some people have problems with sweaty hands. This it's for them, not for air-cooling the mouse hehe

 

[Todestrieb]

Brown mouse is too much lol...wish there is a black one for this, Noctua or not.

 

[TPUnique]

Okay, I might need to get this mouse for sheeeiiit and giggles.

 

[Ruru]

That mouse is begging for a drink to spill inside its guts.

 

[Hereticbar]

With Noctua's pricing, it wouldn't surprise me if just the Noctua fan inside the mouse alone actually cost more than the Pulsar Feinman F01 mouse it is based on.

Have sweaty hands sometimes, can say that there are cheaper and less stupid alternatives - they are called soap and a bit of mineral salt deodorant to dry your palms out.

I also have sweaty palms when using a mouse and while I can't speak of the fan versions but a mouse with the holes/web design helps a lot so I'm most likely never going back to full cover mouses. 'for the record no I'm not fat or out of shape since I work out but I simply sweat more than the average person cause I most likely have that hyperhidrosis issue..'

That mouse is begging for a drink to spill inside its guts.

I've killed a number of keyboards when I was a heavy drinker and spilled a glass of wine into my keyboard but mouses never fell victim to that.
Last time I've almost offed my entire setup with a 1.5 liters water bottle that I was too lazy to put the cap on and I've pushed it over and the whole thing splashed on my PC but luckily I've had the tempered glass panel on so it splashed right back from it and protected everything.. 'That scared the living shet ouf me so I'm a lot more careful since..'

More like, ready for my knuckle hair to get tickled by the fan inside the mouse...

 

[The Terrible Puddle]

The whole point of all the skeleton mice were that they are lightweight but now they are putting fans in them...
Smarter to just have a desk fan blow on your hand. Also I wonder if the fan causes suction and how bad the battery drain will be

 

[Mr. Perfect]

No word on when the NF-A12x25 G2 is available then? It's not on their website yet and it's still listed as a "Q2" product on their roadmap.

 

[Snoop05]

Or you could simply check that the fan thats on market for 7 years already and nowadays available for 15€.
Slapped on $180 mouse ... even if its $250 in the end, if you could buy $180 mouse you can buy a $250 one.

Another hint re: "noctua pricing", the Seasonic Noctua edition PSU (500€ ballpark) thats been out for couple of months already, at least in my local market ends up on average being cheaper than the original edition.

 

[h3dfx]

Fan in a mouse sounds like an interesting idea, I wonder how much extra weight it adds.

 

[freeagent]

Its nice to hear about something new from Noctua, rather than the same 20 year old conversations.

Beer on a keyboard isn't anything new on my keyboards luckily I have spare mechanical keyboards and gaming mice these days if the worst case scenario happens.

Yeah, that thermosiphon AIO is the most interesting if you ask me. Liked that Antec x Noctua case as well, GN Steve showed it on one video.
