PC Launchpad tool

PC airflow planner

Map case fans, side intake, an air tower, or an AIO radiator in one animated airflow path before you build.

A fan-direction planner, not a thermal simulation.

The planner starts from Noctua's general airflow guidance: create one continuous route, usually with front, side, or bottom intake and rear or top exhaust, while keeping a tower cooler aligned with that route. AIO radiator fans occupy their selected case zone and add resistance, so nominal fan-count balance is shown separately from path quality. Vertical radiator guidance keeps the radiator's highest point above the pump, with tubes down preferred where practical. Real results still depend on fan size and speed, filters, vents, radiators, and exact mounting positions.
