In tight areas like radiators or dust-filtered intakes, fans with higher static pressure outperform even high airflow (CFM) fans. Why? Because CFM fans struggle when airflow is blocked, but static pressure fans are built to push air through resistance. It's like the difference between blowing into open air and through a straw — same lungs, different output.

Many gamers assume AIO liquid coolers are always better. Not true. A high-end air cooler (like Noctua NH-D15) can outperform budget liquid AIOs — and with fewer points of failure (no pump, no liquid, no leaks). It's not just about liquid vs. air — it's engineering and thermal design that count.

You can slap a triple-fan GPU in a case, but if the case airflow sucks, your GPU will still throttle. A well-ventilated case with good intake/exhaust fans can drop GPU temps by up to 10–15°C, helping your card boost higher and last longer.

Yes — RGB LEDs in fans do generate heat. But don’t worry — it’s minimal (like 0.1–0.5W per fan). However, in super-compact ITX builds with multiple RGB components, this small heat buildup can raise internal temps by a degree or two, which actually matters in ultra-tight thermal environments.
