What changes is the ability to push a given CFM against a head 
(backpressure). 

As to who care's?  Officially not I. Unofficially as someone that's 
got one running and all, cooling is life for electronics.  Anything
running nearly 200W of DC is going to need a little breeze lest it 
become a pizza oven. 

There are alot of boards that will live longer and all if there is 
enough air passing over them.  It's a good thing.
