Thermal Grizzly and Noctua have jointly released the WireView Pro II Noctua Edition, a GPU power-monitoring device that keeps the same per-pin 12V-2x6 connector protection as the original WireView Pro II but adds a custom Noctua cooling assembly to run far quieter or silently in most use cases.
Thermal Grizzly has partnered with Noctua on a new version of its WireView Pro II GPU power-monitoring device, aimed squarely at builders worried about 12V-2x6 (12VHPWR) connector failures in ultra-quiet systems. The WireView Pro II Noctua Edition keeps the full feature set of the original: it measures current individually on every 12V conductor rather than as a single combined value, which helps surface uneven load distribution or bad contacts before they cause localized heating and connector damage. Voltage, temperature, and total power draw are tracked as well, with warnings delivered through the device's built-in TFT-IPS display, an audible alarm, and an optional automatic shutdown via the included splitter cable.
What sets the Noctua Edition apart is a reworked cooling assembly built around a CNC-milled aluminium heatsink and Noctua's frameless NF-A4x10n fan with the brand's signature grille. According to Thermal Grizzly's own testing, the fan stays off entirely at GPU loads up to 300 W even with case fans disabled and internal temperatures above 40°C — conditions under which the standard WireView Pro II's fan kicked in after just a few minutes. At higher loads the Noctua Edition's fan does spin up, but at under 2000 rpm and roughly 21.5 dB(A) at 10 cm, versus around 39.4 dB(A) for the standard model, while also running the connector about 3°C cooler.
Thermal Grizzly CEO Roman Hartung said the collaboration addressed one of the most common pieces of feedback on the original WireView Pro II — that its fan could still be heard in very quiet builds. Noctua CEO Roland Mossig echoed that the customized heatsink now handles most of the cooling passively, so the fan rarely needs to run at all. Per KitGuru, the Noctua Edition is available in Normal and Reversed connector orientations with a 90-degree adapter included, and it carries Thermal Grizzly's two-year warranty covering 12VHPWR/12V-2x6 connector damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the WireView Pro II Noctua Edition actually monitor?
It measures current on every individual conductor of a 12V-2x6 (12VHPWR) connector, along with voltage, temperature, and total power, to catch uneven load distribution or contact issues before they cause damage.
How much quieter is the Noctua Edition than the standard WireView Pro II?
In Thermal Grizzly's own testing, the Noctua Edition ran at roughly 21.5 dB(A) at 10 cm when its fan was active, compared to about 39.4 dB(A) for the standard model, and the fan stayed off entirely at loads up to 300 W in warm, low-airflow conditions.
Does it still protect against 12VHPWR connector damage?
Yes, it retains the same per-pin current monitoring, on-device alerts, and optional automatic shutdown feature as the original WireView Pro II, plus Thermal Grizzly's two-year connector warranty.
How much does the WireView Pro II Noctua Edition cost?
The manufacturer's suggested retail price is EUR 189.90, though reported USD pricing varies between sources (USD 189.90 per TechPowerUp and USD 219.90 per KitGuru).
