Precision 3630 tower thermal cooling options
I'm speccing a 3630 and I am offered four thermal cooling options:
No fan (default); 120mm Fan w/ Holder; 92mm Fan w/ Holder; 92mm Fan w/ Holder & Y cable.
Is anyone familiar with these?
According to Dell sales, 'they add additional cooling for certain models of graphics cards and are installed in the chassis internally'.
The 3630 I'm buying comes with a AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200, which I will probably sell (it's a sale model, so it seems I can't specify integrated graphics only) and replace with a consumer card (e.g. RX 5700 XT or RTX 2070).
The additional fans don't cost much, I'm just wary of adding them unnecessarily and get additional noise.

OK, by playing around with the options on some other 3630 models, I see that these options seem to be associated with certain cards and also with the size of the PSU, and that when you need them, they will be highlighted.
Also, if I spec up an identical 3630 to the model I was looking at, from scratch, not just the sale price, but also the pre-sale price, is about £100 more. I guess they lowered the price for some pre-specified configurations.
