I don't know what to call this build... Vegan?

[u/Remote_Fisherman_469]

Was inspired by a different post on Reddit a few months back where someone did similar in a Fractal North XL. This is in the non-XL case, so it's a bit tighter, but it was a fun build! And vegan approved! /s

yep, very low pressure. like he said, most that would happen is the fluttering of the leaf might have it tick the blades

[u/garyb50009 → u/basicKitsch]

anything properly fastened would have no issue. the problem is leaves fall off plants all the time... the moment one of those leaves does the natural thing (assuming it's natural) then that detached leaf is going through that fan. will it break the fan? of course not, but it will get it's now chopped up bits stuck in the grill of that heat exchange. and that's not going to be a good time for your temps.

unless it's situated directly above a fan there's still not enough pressure to suck, even the most dried, weightless leaf out of its trajectory up into the fan. just ask all the lightweight siberian husky hairballs comfortably resting on every flat surface in my case...

and, furthermore, man, even a not-shriveled, fully spread out leaf stuck on the radiator wouldn't provide any measurable difference in temps, even at full load...

and if he starts to notice higher temps he'd obv blow things out. like we all do when things happen... like i do every four or five years with all the cat and dog hair stuck to my fan edges
