so a few months i was told that defragging my SSD would help my computers performance, since then ive been told quite a few times how much of an idiot i am for doing it as it can harm the SSD. Thoughts?
It can be thought of as simple maths. The amount of air you push in to the case must also escape the case. Then think of the fans, you'll have intake fans and exhaust fans. If the amount of air your intake fans push in is greater than the amount of air your exhaust fans push out, that excess air must escape in some other way, that'll likely happen out small gaps and holes etc. This is positive pressure. If you turn the situation around, and you try to draw more air out of the case than you try to push in, the excess air you draw out must come in somehow, and that too will likely be trough small holes and gaps. This is negative pressure. As long as the airflow is the same in both cases, i would assume that there's negligible temperature differences. The downside with negative pressure is that you wont have dust filters all the places where air will get in to your case, hence dust will get into your case. This is also true for positive pressure if you don't have any dust filters at all.
