case fan
Internal airflow device
A case fan is a cooling fan mounted inside a computer case to circulate air and prevent components from overheating.
These fans draw cool air in through vents or push hot air out, maintaining airflow across the processor, graphics card, and other heat-generating parts.
Case fans come in various sizes, with 120mm being common, and can be optimized for quiet operation or maximum airflow.
I added a couple of case fans to keep my GPU temperatures down.
