At first I thought they just didn't install the cooler, and figured... well, if the CPU didn't come with one, I can see how one might overlook that, especially if they came from the olden days before coolers were mandatory.
Then I saw it..... I honestly don't know if mounting the CPU cooler as a case fan is better or worse!
With the heat sink still attached? Definitely worse.
