Not just for water cooling. It's for cables that pass in or out too.
Such as?
Edit: I mean you can contrive something if you're MacGyver but there's no remotely standard use case for that.
Mine has an 3 position exrernal fan switch for manual control, cable comes out those holes. Also useful for direct header usb that you run an extender cable out to another device.
3 position? all of my fans get controlled in software from 0-100% speed, reacting based on temperature
While that is an option for anyone, its not something I wanted. Mine is cube with 200mm fan. The lowest setting is fine for the thermals, but if I'm video processing I will toggle to high, but for voice over or a phone call comes in I drop it down low. The random up and down of the fan if left to its own device creates a noise I don't want to deal with.
