Noctua’s first PC case is here, the Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition
Noctua’s first “Noctua Edition” PC case has landed
It’s official, Noctua has released its first-ever Noctua Edition PC case, shipping with six of Noctua’s NF G2 series fans, a Noctua fan hub, and a custom Noctua colour scheme. After launching a Noctua Edition PSU and several graphics cards, a case was the logical next step. Presenting the Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition PC case.
Simply put, Noctua has taken the Antec Flux Pro and made it better. With Noctua fans and anti-vibration mounts, Noctua has made Antec’s PC case cooler and quieter. Users can achieve lower thermals or much lower noise levels, depending on how they configure their systems. All fan cables and required extensions are pre-installed and routed for maximum convenience.
Noctua has confirmed that this PC case will support Noctua’s future liquid cooling solutions. Furthermore, this case supports large PSUs and EATX (up to 285mm wide). If you are a fan of big components, this case supports GPUs up to 455mm long, and top-mounted CPU coolers up to 420mm in size.
The case below features six Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 and NF-A12x25 G2 series fans. With this case, Noctua aims to deliver improved thermal performance and lower noise levels than Antec’s standard Flux Pro PC case. Noctua is also aiming for pricing that’s lower than buying a standard Antec Flux Pro PC case and Noctua fans separately. This means that this Noctua Edition case should represent good value for Noctua fans.
Note that this case has a custom Noctua colour scheme and ships with a pre-installed Noctua NA-FH1 fan hub. Note that all fans are installed using rubber dampeners, and side-by-side fans use Noctua’s A/B series fans to prevent unwanted noise/resonance. Noctua’s A/B series fans operate at slightly different speeds, preventing unnecessary noise. No other brand takes fan noise as seriously as Noctua.
Better cooling and lower noise levels
Compared with Antec’s standard Flux Pro case, the Noctua Edition delivers lower CPU and GPU thermals at any given noise levels. This means users can achieve higher cooling performance or similar performance to the standard Flux Pro at much lower noise levels.
Below is a chart comparing CPU and GPU cooling inside the case with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and an Nvidia RTX 5090. The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is up to 8 dB(A) quieter than the standard version at the same temperatures.
The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is available starting today for $399.90/€399.90.
