"NOVA is a fanless desktop cooler designed to sit where a case fan would normally go. Instead of blades, it uses a shaped intake, ion electrodes, and clever airflow to move air through a central opening. The frame reads more like a minimalist architectural vent than a traditional PC fan, with a form language closer to audio components or precision instruments than the usual gamer aesthetic."
"The airflow works through shaped channels and ion wind. The intake narrows the path, so air speeds up as it moves toward the center, like water through a nozzle. Ion electrodes arranged in a ring around the opening create a high-speed jet that clings to the curved surfaces and pulls surrounding air along with it. The result is a strong flow through the central hole without any visible blades or motor noise."
"The front face is a square frame with rounded corners and four curved ribs that form a circular opening in the middle. The ribs flare from a wide outer edge to a narrower inner throat, guiding air and accelerating it toward the center. The metallic finish and subtle LED halo around the intake give it a calm, sculptural presence rather than the visual noise of rainbow patterns."
NOVA replaces traditional spinning fans with a fanless desktop cooler that mounts where a case fan usually sits. The design uses shaped intake channels and a ring of ion electrodes to accelerate and direct air through a central opening, creating a high-speed jet that draws surrounding air along curved surfaces. The aesthetic resembles a minimalist architectural vent with a metallic finish and subtle LED halo, aiming for calm, sculptural presence rather than typical RGB showiness. Opaque materials and careful detailing ensure it looks finished from both sides, and a circular PCB integrates electrodes and LEDs for simplified assembly.
