A lot of cases from back then only took 80mm fans. To move more air, they had to spin faster and produce more noise. The loud fans were the upgrade ๐
Noctua to the rescue! (And maybe a fan speed controller.)
I remember a little knob on the back of a pc, taking up a PCIe slot, connected to a fan controller
True, but I think you can get some pretty decent high airflow 80mm fans these days.
Good point ๐
