Natural Airflow Cooling – Passive, Powerful, Proven

Airtop3’s innovative Natural Airflow (NAF) cooling system eliminates the need for fans by using the waste heat of CPU and GPU to generate upward airflow through CNC-machined air-tube panels. This system ensures:

• Silent, dust-free operation with no moving parts
• High thermal efficiency via flat 25-channel heatpipes and large copper plates
• Durability and consistent performance over time

This makes Airtop3 ideal for mission-critical edge computing, automation systems, digital signage, and industrial IoT deployments.
