??? You don't wind tunnel test for thermals. That's for aerodynamics. It's well known that a GPU outside of a case runs cooler than inside.

It's why cases are tested by putting a GPU inside and reporting the thermals at idle and load. It is significant.

I mean physical tunnels from the front or side of the case directed at the cooler heatsink to direct outside air directly onto the heatsink. There were tons of different designs for that concept back in the day, but you don't really see it very often now.

Maybe they didn't mean wind tunnel, but that they lit a cigarette and checked the airflow 🤷

Internet as an art

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.
