Got some Noctua fan speed reducers which I'm sure everyone here knows are just in-line resistors however I'd never actually used them before in any scenario so just learned that by nature they're 'supposed' to be hot. I just wonder how much of an actual risk there is there of them being a fire hazard.
I may not end up using them, it depends on how anal I am about sound/airflow, but if they're not worth using if you're paranoid about a fire hazard I have Noctua 20mm fans I'll just use that should be fine. But I would rather be able to force more air into the chassis while still being quiet, if I can, if it's considered relatively safe.
Also, can you create more airflow by putting two fans of the same type behind one another?
Thoughts/comments?
