Noctua Confirms Black NL-LC1 AIO for Late 2026

Noctua has confirmed a chromax.black version of its first AIO cooler, the NL-LC1, with a planned release window set for late 2026.

Noctua has officially confirmed that a chromax.black series version of its upcoming NL-LC1 liquid cooler is in development. The announcement came through comments on the company's own YouTube channel, where it revealed plans to launch the all-black variant toward the end of 2026, provided development proceeds as expected. The NL-LC1 marks Noctua's first entry into the all-in-one (AIO) cooler market, with the NL-LC1-36 identified as a specific model within the new series. While enthusiasts await the debut of the brand's first liquid cooling solution, this confirmation ensures that a black aesthetic option will eventually follow the standard release.
