Is there such a thing as too high of fan speed for bridging?

So I am using a delta 4028 and max out 100% fan speed with a tri-horn fan duct. I notice that the bridging gets pushed downwards (does not look like normal drooping) Should I lower my fan speed or am I doing something else wrongly? My print speed for bridging is only 50mm/s with 85% flow

Did you do a bridge flow calibration already? Cooling ofc also depends on the Material you're using, but a 4028 on full throttle if you don't go supersonic speeds sounds a LOT. I am not experienced with this tho

I use only 60%, depends on material. 100 is probably too much

I was doing a bridge flow calibration but noticed that no matter what % I choose, there was always a sag. So I sat there on the next print and kind of notice the filament getting "blown" around. I started with my noob idea that the more cooling the better it is, so I went with max speed. thanks for providing some numbers, good start for me to redo my calibration. thanks

Also don't use the tri-horn duct.

may I know why?

Airflow is uneven af. It's kind of a hack to get more flow. The newer ducts are much better. tri duct causes heavy forward flow (which is bad)

and by newer ducts you mean the stock eva 3 duct?
