Why does Arctic sell 5 packs of fans? (lemm.ee)

How do you even install 5 fans? I have a meshify C and a rattling fan, thinking of a fractal north for the next build.

I already have 2 stock fans and 2 from the previous case.

Is the idea just to replace all fans in a case with the 5 pack?

Or so you just buy 1 at a time and replace broken fans?

Some cases can host much more than 2-3 fans. My old but reliable CoolerMaster ATX case can host up to seven 120mm fans. I don't need that much for the light gaming I do but for some people, it's cheaper to buy them in pack rather than individually, either for a single build with lots of fans or if you are building computers for a living.
