THE NL-LC1-42

Unlike with past Asetek models the NL-LC1-42 stands out quite a bit thanks to the Emma V2 pump.

The 459.5mm long and 143.7mm wide aluminum radiator is roughly 30mm thick.

FPI (fins per inch) count according to my tool is closer to 21 than the reported 20 but small difference.

Using 450mm braided (EPDM) tubes is ideal for such a long AIO.

The 70mm tall pump/water block combo has the company logo on top and that's also where you can mount the bundled faceplate (or the NL-ACF1 80mm auxiliary fan).

Both tubes can rotate from the base and here we also find the pump speed switch (quiet/balances/manual).

The Copper (CU1100) cold plate is also quite large and measures 55.5mm in length and width.

Noctua has paired the NL-LC1-42 model with their NF-A14x25 G2 fans which can reach up to 1500RPM to produce airflow levels of up to 155.6m3/h (91.6CFM) and 2.56mmH2O of air pressure with just 24.8dBA of noise.

With the fans mounted thickness jumps to just over 57mm.

Users who'd like to also provide cooling for motherboard components surrounding the CPU socket can also get the NL-ACF1 auxiliary cooling fan.

This is a small 80mm fan that can spin up to 2200RPM.
