Yeah... Nearly nobody has a few 140mm fans on their computers. Most people won't have any fan lager than 120mm. Powerful computers usually have a pair of them. Maybe 3 if you count the PSU.

People who are using 3080/3090's are much more likely to have systems with larger numbers of fans. And they usually have far more than two.
