It does give you a net gain, but not really enough to offset the cost of additional fans. It will usually get you in the realm of 3-5c at most which usually isnt enough to up your OC another step with voltage increases.

i have this kolink horizon rgb case. I removed 3 of 4 stock rgb fans, so i have 3 left. So is it worth it whit no cost?

Maybe, depends on a few things, like whats the RPM differences between them? Static pressure optimized or not? If not, then put your static Pressure optimized fans as  PUSH, and the non as pull and see. Only real way is to test it out and see if you get any improvement.

If I was using it as an intake, I would consider it if that’s my only source of fresh air and was using an open air cooled gpu.
