Clever K3s cooling scheme?

Roy Koeppe
Re all the fans postings, it appears my K3s uses convection cooling during
light usage periods, drawing air in at the rear, backwards thru the idle
fans, and out the top. When fans engage, air flow is reversed...drawn in
thru the top and out the back. "Simplicity is ingenuity."
