Mar 1 at 22:30 comment added Eph @Giacomo1968 As someone whose studied heat transfer and fluid dynamics, the question seems pretty clear and answerable with equations and estimations that are generalizable to many computer configurations.
Feb 28 at 15:39 comment added Ben Thank you for the much more thorough explanation in your edit. I still don't really agree with your conclusions, but I think keeping this perspective in mind will help me ask better questions in future anyway.

Added more info w/ concrete reasons for close votes.
Feb 27 at 1:51 comment added Ben The comment in question is "1. If your PC is not overheating, why do you need another fan? 2. Consider that more airflow also pulls more dust through the PC". Sentence 1 is giving the commentor's opinion that I don't need more fans and shouldn't have bothered asking how to configure more. That's not an answer to whether 4-5 fans would provide more cooling than 3, and I expressly stated that I wasn't looking for opinions on whether I should buy them. "More fans = more dust" is a tangentially relevant statement, but again isn't an answer to the question I tried to ask.
Feb 27 at 1:46 comment added Ben This part is I think the core: "the correct answer has already been given by several, and first by the very first comment made on that question". I don't think that "answer" addresses my intended question at all, so if that's the consensus then I've totally failed to communicate my intent but I have no idea how, hence why I'm asking for more explanation here.
