Noctua Fans on Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360

[CuttingEdge]

I'm planning a "Noctua" build so will be replacing fans on the AIO (LF3 360) that I have but I am not sure what's the best way to run the fan cables, as the Noctua fans have this very rigid sleeved cables. If necessary I can get a different AIO that might be more suitable for the Noctua fans. Or perhaps I need some fan hub ? I will be building this in Thermaltake Core P5.

Hmm. Not sure what the best option is. I would just route the cables of the Noctua fans behind the motherboard tray and then connect them to your motherboard or a fan controller.

Noctua plans to release its own CPU liquid coolers. They plan to release them in Q2 2026. If you want an all-Noctua PC build, you may want to wait for that product. Depends on if you want to wait or do everything now really.

I think my only solution for now is to use 120mm noctua fans with 140 noctua brackets SFMA1 (inverted) and with 420 LF3Pro - this way I can run cables in similar way as they are now run on arctics own fans. Otherwise I would not only need to mod the fan cables to make them shorter but I would also need to alter the frames of the fans too. Once noctua releases their collab AIO this will have to do.

Hold on. Is your cooler 420mm or 360mm? Your first and second posts talk about different versions of the LF3 Pro. Noctua do have 140mm fans. The newest ones are their NF-A14x25 fans.
