Noctua Presents New Low-Profile Cooler for AM5

Noctua announced the development of a new low-profile cooler specifically designed for the AMD AM5 socket at Computex 2026. The cooler features a height of only 70 mm and utilizes the new 120 mm fan NF-A12x25 G2, which has a thickness of 25 mm. This combination allows for efficient cooling in compact case formats. The AM5 socket offers more space around the socket compared to current Intel sockets, which is advantageous for the installation of the new cooling system. Noctua emphasized that the cooler's design is tailored to the specific requirements of the AM5 platform to ensure optimal heat dissipation.

The NF-A12x25 G2 fan is known for its high efficiency and quiet operation. With a maximum speed of 2000 RPM and an airflow of up to 210 m³/h, the fan is designed to provide reliable cooling even under heavy loads. The special geometry of the fan blades contributes to the reduction of vibrations and noise. Noctua also highlighted the use of high-quality materials and technologies in the construction of the new cooler, including premium NTC thermistors for accurate temperature monitoring and SSO2 bearings for a long fan lifespan.

The market launch of the new low-profile cooler is planned for the second half of 2026. Noctua is expected to announce further details regarding availability and technical specifications in the coming months. The demand for compact cooling solutions for high-performance systems is growing, particularly in the gaming and workstation sectors. With the introduction of the new cooler, Noctua is responding to the increasing cooling requirements in modern PC systems. The combination of compact design and powerful cooling could be of interest to many users of AM5 platforms.

Exact pricing and availability will be announced at a later date. The development of the NF-A12x25 G2 fan is part of Noctua's ongoing commitment to providing innovative cooling solutions. The company has made a name for itself by combining performance with quiet operation, which remains a focus for this new product. The technical details and performance of the new cooler are eagerly anticipated by the community. Computex 2026 once again demonstrated that the industry is seeking new solutions to the challenges of cooling.

With this new product, Noctua positions itself as a leader in the low-profile cooler market for the AM5 platform. The official announcement of the new cooler was positively received by numerous industry visitors and media representatives. The specifications of the new low-profile cooler are expected to be presented in more detail in the coming months. Noctua plans to demonstrate the technical data and performance of the cooler in various scenarios.
