Maybe, except that third fan isn't blowing towards anything meaningful. At least the third fan in the Tongfang blows across one RAM stick and what looks like an M.2 heat shield/spreader.

Since i'll add here's lenovo's. While it does the same 3rd fan over the GPU, Lenovo instead Covered the SSD and ram with a giant heatsink.

Doubting there's any meaningful airflow over the CPU/GPU dies and VRMs/VRAMs. All the thermal putty/pads/paste would cut off the airflow.

This is all still pretty new so I would simply check temps and performance, they should be easy to check. Plus for workstation use I will mostly use the CPU in my laptops so that already helps with temps.
