Why do fans on graphics cards not face up
Fans on graphics cards are designed to spin when installed in a desktop setup, providing visual appeal through lights and movement.
Fans are generally expected to match standard specifications. When you request changes from a manufacturer or supplier, it requires significant investment in R&D, which isn't inexpensive. If your brand is the only one offering an unusual fan design, you stand out and can charge more. At that stage, success or failure depends on the product—and ultimately the brand. Companies usually take chances to recoup their costs.
The primary purpose of the fan is to cool the components, not for appearance. RGB and blinken lights serve as a secondary feature. If the fans were positioned at the top, they would need to direct air downward onto the PCB. This would conflict with the existing airflow in the system.
