I haven't seen where overpressure (or any 'pressure') helps with pc cooling as
of yet. I HAVE noticed if you can have a good ammount (100+cfm) of filtered air
coming into the case and have some some pressurization going on (blowing air out
of every hole, crack, etc) it will significantly reduce the ammount of dust
buildup. Just make sure you've got the fan intake filters clean of course.
