    Sure nitpick at my wording. But that doesn’t change the fact that none of those tasks you mentioned will put the CPU to 100% load for 20+ min, which was the only scenario tested in that video and also the only time that the performance difference from active and passive cooling is significant enough to not be margin of error.

    Even at that point, you will still only see a 5% decrease in performance with passive cooling.

    My point stands, 99% of air users will never see the benefit of 5% performance increase when at full tilt for extended periods of time. Your advanced web browsing (whatever that means) still wouldn’t benefit from the additional cooling.
