Levelplay’s Magnetic Fan Concept Focuses on Easier PC Cooling Maintenance

Levelplay’s latest cooling concepts appear aimed at one of the less glamorous parts of PC building: making fans easier to install, reverse, remove, and clean.

The most distinctive idea is the company’s reported MagBracket fan design. Instead of putting every connection directly on the fan in the usual way, the concept places the RGB lighting in a mounting plate. That plate is described as using a USB-C cable to combine PWM and RGB connectivity, while the fan itself attaches magnetically and makes electrical contact through pogo pins.

A Magnetic Fan Mount With Reversible Airflow

In practical terms, the MagBracket concept is meant to separate the fixed mount from the moving fan body. Once the bracket is installed and powered, the fan can reportedly be dropped into place magnetically. If the design works as described, that could make routine cleaning much less awkward because the fan could be removed without undoing the full mounting setup.

The same concept also addresses a common PC-building annoyance: fan orientation. The fans are described as having connectors on both sides, which would allow the fan body to be flipped around to change airflow direction. That would make it easier to correct an intake-versus-exhaust mistake after a system is mostly assembled, especially on a radiator or in a cramped case.

There are still important unknowns. Pricing and availability have not been confirmed, and the design remains a concept rather than a shipping product. The visible crossbars in the shown design may also raise airflow questions, though there is not enough performance data to judge that yet.

Newtro 360 Trades the Screen Trend for a Knob

Levelplay also showed a second concept called the Newtro 360, a retro-styled AIO cooler design built around a large physical knob on top of the cooler. The knob is described as controlling fan speed, and the cooler was shown with a claimed maximum cooling rating of 350W, though that figure should be treated as an unverified product claim until independent testing or final specifications are available.

The design stands apart from the many AIO coolers that use displays on the pump housing. Instead, the Newtro 360 leans into a more tactile look, with orange cable accents and old-style metal fan grilles. That gives it a clearer visual identity than another small screen, but the usefulness of the knob depends on how often a user would actually open a side panel to adjust cooling behavior by hand.

Still a Concept, Not a Confirmed Product

Both ideas are best understood as early cooling concepts rather than products buyers can plan around today. A firm release timeline has not been publicly confirmed, and there is no confirmed pricing.

Still, the concepts point in a useful direction. Magnetic fan attachment, reversible airflow without rewiring, and simple physical controls all target real pain points for PC builders. The question is whether Levelplay can turn those ideas into hardware that is durable, quiet, easy to cable-manage, and priced sensibly enough to compete with conventional PC cooling gear.
