I distinctly remember in LTT's screwdriver video, Linus mentioned a conversation he had with someone high up at Noctua and said something along the lines of "you must have the best engineers, right?" They basically told him no. They have good engineers, but they give them the time and resources they need to do their best work. So much of R&D is half-baked due to arbitrary deadlines and heavy budget constraints, so I'm looking forward to their new products. They have no interest in releasing products that aren't ready for primetime and it's a refreshing attitude compared to the usual rat race.

I wish they would stray into PC Cases, I love their 70s era beige, I just wish their was a retro case that goes with it.

Noctua can take 8 years to develop a fan because my current Noctua cooler is now over 10 years old, and has cooled 2 different cpus after I rebuilt my system. They'll get my money again in the future whenever I build my next system. 👍

Anyone who has ever installed a Noctua Cooler, especially a NH-D15, knows exactly what it means when you screw it down how tight, and just "correct" their mounting is....to have that upgraded is mind blowing.

Used to buy the high end AOI watercoolers, 360 & 280m rads. Tended be noisy. Last year i switched to a Fractal Torrent case, NH-D15. Won't go back, and will upgrade to a new D15 once i refresh the system for sure. Even though there's no need. I love it that much. Happy to support a great product & company.

Same. Hopefully by now with so many other chromax black products they know exactly how the black pigment will affect the materials. So they shouldn't need nearly as much R&D

it’s amazing how something as simple as a fan can take years to develop..but the end result is worth it!

Gotta love the noctua edition ltt screwdrivers hanging out with the coola :D

8 years to develop the fan is one thing. I just hope they don't need as long to make it in chromax black as they did with their other products. Surely by now they know exactly how the black pigment is going to effect the materials.

Love that they featured the coola drinks thing. Of course it has their tech inside! :P

Thank you Steve and GN crew for this coverage.

I've got a NH-D15S on my rig and I am extremely happy with it.

I wrote a random email to Noctua asking for clarification on how capable their NH-U12S cooler was back in like 2020. I got a reply about 6 hours later, specifying very clearly the cooler's capabilities, examples of what CPUs one might pair with it, signed off with "Good luck with your build!". I don't think I've ever had an experience like that with a random customer service rep before, and it speaks for the care that noctua puts into their products and customer experience. Its a big reason my current 'endgame' build is chock full of noctua a12x25s and a u12a.

I've been dragging my feet wanting a new epic air cooler so I think I'll just keep waiting for this.

Noctuas attention to detail is just beyond belief! Should be the standard for every company in the industry.

Seeing that mx6 ad made me feel 100x better about trying it out. I got some in feb and my system is still running pretty cool, and my pc is in a high dust environment :P

Arctic Cooling ad during Noctua coverage is priceless.

Noctua still remains as my favorite fan and cooling company. Still going strong with an NH-D15. May have to give this gen 2 a try on my next build, if it does indeed perform better.

This is awesome! Honestly wasn't expecting this and now I'm looking forward to its release and y'all running it through the benchmarking hoops! I'm just super jealous cause I want one of those Cuula dispensers but it doesn't look like I'll be able to get one anytime soon 😔

Excellent coverage, thanks dude.

My first Noctua product was an ndh-15 a few years ago. I won't by anything else at this point. Worth it for me.

Great in-depth content as always. All the best on the road to 2 million subs! Once you do reach that milestone, please do not start scaling up your team/operations to the point of making it unsustainable without compromising your ideals. Stay lean, mean and hard hitting.

I’m glad to have found out this new information. I was deciding between a Noctua DH-15 vs Thermalright Phantom 120SE.

I can see how much enjoyment there is for these new products :) good cidea

Love the fact Noctua include a screwdriver with the NHD15 - little thing but a nice touch!

This is highly informative! Cooler manufacturers are getting creative with offsetting and such

I have two 12 year old case fans still going strong. What a great company.

Even though there are cheaper competitors with close enough cooling performance, it's so worth buying Noctua products for that bump in quality and great customer service. More than happy to help fund their R&D and keep the great products flowing.

Noctua booth looking righteous! DH-15 is my favorite cooler, I've recently stuffed it in Omen case with simple case mod dropping temp 30C. As a new channel, I look up to you fr Steve!

You did not ask about the Noctua Desk Fan! We have been waiting years for this

ROFL so sweet hearing you say “Entschuldigung“ at the end😂

Always love the cpu coolers stuff, and how they find ways to improve beyond just "its got a bigger fan this time!" lol. Been waiting to see what Noctua & be quiet! come out with next, a lot of competition nowadays👍

Noctua is still my goto fan manufacturer, so hyped to hear they are coming out with some new fan models.

Ooo this one's exciting. Always loved cooling stuff, so a 2.0 of a legendary cooler sounds super duper awesome

I use the old NH-D15 for like 7 or 8 years now, zero problems since they day i installed it in my setup (works on top of quite dated but still good i7 6800k). Cleaned my setup couple times and it works just as silent and cools just as good as it used to the day i bought it. My only problem with the product was during installation, radiator had alot of really sharp edges where you can easily cut your hands and installing it in my Define R5 case (which isn't a small case either) was quite a challenge even with a second person helping me - i cut my hands abit trying to install fans on radiator but after i managed to install, had no problems through the years. Highly recommend their products.

That's why they are the best in the business IMO. I'm very happy with the NHD 15 I got years ago. Outlived everything in my rig, probably down for the next 5 years too.
