This allows the fans themselves to connect magnetically to the plate, and electrically via pogo pins. Drop them on the powered plate, and the fan lights up as it begins to spin. That would make cleaning your case fans exceptionally easy, and it also means the spinners are reversible, with connectors on both sides. So you can pop a fan off, flip it over, and put it back on to go from intake to exhaust.
That also means you can install the brackets on their own, and pop the fans on after your system is more or less built. Anyone who’s ever put a fan on a radiator or case in the wrong orientation (that has to be everyone who’s built more than one PC, right?) can rejoice at how easy that situation would be to fix here. Grab the offending fan, flip it over, pop it back on, and you’re good to you. You wouldn’t even need to reboot.
We don’t know pricing or availability yet, and the orange crossbars probably aren’t doing the airflow any favors. But I love the simple modularity of this design.
Next up, the Newtro 360 is a retro-styled cooler that puts a big tactile knob on top of an AIO, letting you adjust the fan speed, with a max cooling rating of 350W.
It’s certainly a more unique take than adding a screen or a VRM fan on top of the cold plate, but I’m personally not certain how often I’d be willing to pop my side panel off to tweak my AIO’s performance. I do like the orange accents on the sleeved cables and the old-school metal fan grilles, though.
Like the magnetic fans, the Newtro AIO is a concept, so we don’t know if or when the company will release the cooler, but it’s certainly the most tactile AIO I saw at Computex 2026.
