Ok, so the 2 fans are completely pointless, but I get it from a bling perspective, I even kinda like it, but then there's the power connector right bang in the middle, gunna look bloody awful once connected. They couldn't even be bothered to move it to the end of the card, so likely using a basic PCB design.

I'd rather just have the 3 fans and let them blow harder... those little fans are probably doing more harm than good, for both heat dissipation and noise.

imho in chinese culture numbers and flashiness are big selling points, i have this Chinese motherboard that came with 4 absurd fans for the VRM areas, they just whine like crazy and did nothing, but Chinese love "more things for the same or lower price", you can see it in the their car market, they tend to have a lot of features even when they don't work.

Those tiny fans never did anybody any good... not even if when they were commonly in use, back in the day. Also, yeah that connector is an issue... you almost have to have a 180° adapter on that thing, or you're routing your 12V cable exactly across that marvellous (read: sarcasm!) screen anyway. Also, sell that screen extra for 100$, and it's Corsair / Asus-worthy in unneeded features. Or at least 150$, since an extra designed for the 4090 ofc.

Only 5 fans, I will pass, give me 8 fans so I can have a tornado inside my computer. Just some curiosity, if the fans are expeling the air, it was not better being close to the center where the GPUs is? Being placed close to the extremes of the GPU I'm not seeing much point of it.

Those two little guys can get pretty noisy if the go high rpms.

Tq, was just about to post something similar. I've seen cheap CCTV with multiple antenas. Upon unscrewing, only one of it is wired and the other 2 are just there for show.

lol! some materials (plastics and stuff) are so cheap there that they can add some "bling-bling" in the form of antenas.
