Also, a fan running at 100% will itself generate more heat than when it's running at 40%, after all it's just a lil electric motor when all's said and done

If such a cold plate existed, every computer would be fitted with one. No noise, no moving parts, no dust and dirt being sucked in - it'd be wonderfull!

I know for a fact that their meat hasn't been sitting in a freezer for six months. A large delivery/distribution company that my chain us...
