Noctua shows off improved thermosiphon prototype — passively circulated liquid cooler gets Q3 2027 projected launch date
Noctua showed off a refined version of its passively circulated thermosiphon liquid cooler at Computex 2026 with an improved evaporator design. The company is confident enough in its progress with this product to set a Q3 2027 launch window.
The continuous demand for more powerful, yet energy-efficient computing necessitates advanced cooling solutions, driving innovation in areas like passive liquid cooling.
This development indicates progress in thermal management for high-performance computing, potentially enabling quieter, more compact, and energy-efficient systems for both consumer and enterprise applications.
The improved design and projected launch date signal Noctua's confidence in bringing a viable passive liquid cooling solution to market, potentially accelerating its adoption in PC components.

- · Small form factor PC manufacturers
- · Data centers (potentially)
- · Traditional air cooler manufacturers (incremental pressure)
- · Less efficient liquid cooling solutions
The launch of a reliable passive thermosiphon cooler will offer a new high-performance, low-maintenance cooling option.
Wider adoption of such cooling could reduce system power consumption and noise levels in high-density computing environments.
This could, in the long term, influence fundamental chassis and component design, leading to new form factors and system architectures.
