“This is easily one of the best-performing coolers we’ve tested on our bench so far. The optional NL-ACF1 VRM fan, which is sold separately, is also surprisingly effective at cooling the motherboard’s VRM components, bringing their temperatures down by a decent margin.”

“The Noctua NL-LC1 is hands down the best liquid cooler. It's incredibly proficient at cooling even the most demanding processor under heavy load, and remains remarkably quiet while doing it.”

“The NL-LC1 AIOs are so vastly superior and distinctly different, they deserve a different category, as all previous solutions fail to compare. The scope of delivery, cost, and performance all come together to make one amazing liquid CPU cooling solution. ”

“Coming to the question of the actual performance of these coolers, the graph is self-explanatory. The NL-LC1-42 and NL-LC1-36 are sitting on top of the graph using manual mode. The NL-LC1-36 with its balanced mode, offers competitive performance against a 420mm AIO from the competition. All in all, these coolers offer an excellent noise-to-performance ratio with good TDP headroom.”

“Avec le NL-LC1-36, Noctua réalise une entrée particulièrement convaincante sur le marché des AIO. La marque aurait pu se contenter de reprendre une plateforme existante, d’y installer ses ventilateurs et d’apposer son logo sur l’ensemble, mais elle a manifestement cherché à apporter sa propre interprétation du refroidissement liquide.”
