Brown. Brown. Brown! That seems to be essentially the most iconic a part of German cooling firm Noctua’s model id—and it really works, or no less than it creates some distinction along with nice {hardware} centered on quiet cooling. Noctua’s newest collaboration is with old-school enclosure firm Antec, and the Noctua Version of the Flux Professional case is now obtainable for a hefty $400 USD.
In comparison with the usual version Flux Professional, the Noctua variant is… nicely, brown. Chocolatey accents adorn the mesh panels on the highest and canopy the PSU on the facet, plus the silicone panels and fan brackets on the inside. The walnut wooden body across the entrance panel, whereas very good, is already a characteristic on the $180 normal version. It does have a bit additional “Antec x Noctua” branding bling, although.
The upgraded PC case additionally will get at least six Noctua followers, changing all six on the usual version with Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 and NF-A12x25 G2 fashions. Noctua additionally throws in its NA-FH1 fan controller hub. Promotional supplies insist that this makes the case “considerably quieter when working on the identical move charges,” however specifics aren’t listed… and I hasten so as to add that, because the Flux Professional already consists of six followers and a controller, you aren’t technically including any additional performance, all for greater than double the worth.
The Flux Professional is an enormous E-ATX airflow case with a mixture of mesh and glass panels, assist for just about any cooling and radiator configuration you might ask for (as much as 420mm), and a few attention-grabbing options like a 90-degree flip for the ability provide that makes it simpler to achieve from behind the motherboard. It will get {hardware} shows for GPU and CPU temperature, vertical GPU mounting, tons of cable routing, and might home as much as 4 3.5-inch storage drives and a GPU with a most size of 455mm. It’s huge, is what I’m saying right here.
If the Noctua Version of the case is catching your eye, it’s possible you’ll need to get an order in shortly. Even with its premium pricing, Noctua collaborations (like these graphics playing cards within the current previous) are likely to promote out as brand-loyal consumers snatch them up.
