Levelplay Goes Retro at Computex 2026

One of the biggest issues plaguing PC hardware is that nobody wants to admit that we have peaked.  Much like that friend from highschool living in the past, the old way of promoting computer hardware no longer works because there is very little separating the best and worst options on the market.

Levelplay has realized this and has started to rethink cooling products, not so much as performance heatsinks and AIOs but rather design extensions to help your build stand out while still providing value.

One of the highlight products at their venue was the Newtro series coolers.  This retro industrial inspired design takes things old school with actual knobs to dial in fan speeds with a design aesthetic that harks back to the 50’s when everything was metal and sculpted.  The various shrouds are seen here in Levelplay orange with the AIO edition handling a 350w TDP.

The aircooling variant is smaller single fan unit with five heatpipes and a power handling of 250w TDP.  Much like the AIO the design queues are identical though, somehow doesn’t have the same visual impact at the AIO.

One of the concept products on display was the MAG fan kit featuring an exclusive snap fit system allowing users to install fans without needing to run an endless number of ARGB and Fan cables.  This system uses a magnetic mounting system to allowing tool less fan installations for easy cleaning and replacement.

Levelplay also had their entire line of cleaning and thermal products on display including a fancy thermal paste application system that will create Levelplay logos across your processor for an extremely uniform thermal compound application that will make even the most critical of angry at the world techtuber happy.
