Fresh from the stages of Computex 2025, Noctua's futuristic thermosiphon cooler continues to captivate audiences, boasting an enhanced design, yet obstinate in its elusive availability.
Noctua's Pumpless Thermosiphon CPU Cooler: Wrong Way Up Coming Soon?
The tech world is buzzing about Noctua's latest creation, the pumpless thermosiphon CPU cooler, at this year's Computex. This radically reimagined cooler is an upgrade from last year's model, boasting a larger 360 mm radiator in place of the previous 240 mm variant. The improvement in radiator size offers improved heat dissipation, but there's more to this cooler than meets the eye.
The thermosiphon concept is based on a simple yet ingenious method of cooling: boiling the coolant traps the heat energy at the CPU heat spreader, causing the liquid to vaporize, ascend to the radiator, and condense back into a cool liquid. The cycle then begins anew, providing a silent cooling system without the traditional pump noise. Note that the only sound you'll hear is from the spinning fans.
This innovative thermosiphon design eliminates the pump, a common weak point in traditional AIO coolers. The housing has also been meticulously engineered to minimize vibrations, while proprietary foam padding ensures noise and vibration isolation.
However, don't expect to get your hands on one just yet. Noctua describes this as a long-term development project, with neither pricing nor an official release date available as they iron out the final design details and tackle key challenges, such as long-term performance and permeation issues through tubing.
The tech universe eagerly awaits further updates on the Noctua pumpless thermosiphon CPU cooler. In the meantime, this revolutionary cooler continues to leave a lasting impression on the enthusiast community, promising a silent, efficient, and reliable cooling solution for CPUs in the near future.
