I’m still salty about the Geforce 4 MX (which was just a slightly modified 2 MX, with none of the features of the newer 4-series), although that’s more of a case of false marketing.
Were fans even all that common on cases back then? I had a 486 clocked at 100 MHz that only needed the tiniest passive heat spreader - and this was years after turbo buttons were a thing.
That one made CPUs run at a lower clock speed so that older games would run.
Perhaps the greatest misnomer in computing history.

On the case we had, it also (or perhaps only) made the fans run faster, which was hilarious.
