Details:

NIC/HBA cards do not include built-in fans because they are designed to be installed in server chassis with high-RPM system fans with directed airflow shrouds. When used outside of a server chassis, such as in a desktop PC, NAS, or homelab system, they may not receive enough airflow to stay within proper operating temperatures. My NIC/HBA coolers are designed to provide dedicated active airflow, keeping the card within spec and eliminating the risk of overheating, CRC errors, drive dropouts, and long-term component stress.
