# Noctua and Forced Physics Partner on PC Cooling

September 24, 2026 at 02:39 PM

> Noctua and Forced Physics DCT have launched a research partnership to adapt industrial JouleForce micro-channel technology for desktop PCs.

Austrian cooling specialist **Noctua** and **Forced Physics DCT** announced a long-term research partnership on September 24, 2026. The collaboration aims to adapt Forced Physics' patented **JouleForce** micro-channel array technology for use in desktop PCs and workstations.

JouleForce uses geometry-driven molecular collisions to extract heat along micro-channels without liquid loops. Current implementations require industrial blowers, as the technology creates pressure drops far exceeding the capabilities of standard axial PC fans.

Noctua CEO **Roland Mossig** and Forced Physics CEO **Scott Davis** are investigating how to meet these static pressure requirements within desktop acoustic constraints. The R&D effort is not currently tied to a specific product release or a confirmed launch date.
