Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition

During the 20-minute load, the temperature and clock rates spiked and levelled off at a decently high point. With the CPU reaching 95°C, it got to 5,212MHz, then leveled off at around 5,100MHz. But that might be more down to the AIO I used on there rather than on the case itself.

As for the graphics card, it got to a clock rate of around 2,400MHz with a temp of around 66°C. Sufficiently keeping the levels of these to keep the temperatures in check. As the motherboard MOS temperatures got near 55°C.

During this time, the noise from the PC was barely perceptible. The fans set to default were keeping temps down, but at a whisper essentially. Particularly with the rubber mounts, I couldn’t make out the noise behind all else.

That is thanks to Noctua’s claims of how it reduces the noise of the case by a further 8dB(A) with the new fans in it that run significantly quieter at the same flow rates. It even offsets the speed of the front and shroud fans, which means no weird harmonics between them that might cause periodic interference. So they even account for the small details like that.

The collaboration really shows in the cooling setup, with a full suite of Noctua fans included and a recommended airflow layout that delivers strong thermals while keeping noise levels impressively low. Cable management is also well thought out, with generous routing channels, tie points, and enough clearance to avoid issues even with a more complex build.

For those who prioritise silence, thermal performance, and a distinctive design, it delivers exactly what it sets out to do. It’s not a subtle or budget-friendly case, but for the right kind of high-end build, it’s an excellent showcase of what a tightly integrated cooling-focused collaboration can achieve.
