Hi there,
So I am about to build the following build:
[URL unfurl="true"]https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Shamatix/saved/#view=ccDh99[/URL]

The reasoning I am on here is because I've seen a couple of similar builds in the same case running a 92mm fan at the Noctua NH-D12L as seen on for example:
[URL unfurl="true"]https://pcpartpicker.com/b/X49NnQ[/URL]

I guess my main question is whether or not I should do it?
What makes me question the choice is mainly the fact of the temps.
In the above example the guy has posted his temps being significantly higher than for example this guy who doesn't run a 92mm fan?

What are your suggestions and what is the reasoning behind a build having an extra fan being hotter than one without? Is it a good or a bad idea to have this 92mm fan?

Best regards
