Hi all, just bought an APEX MI-008 and a Silverstone NT07-AM2 cpu cooler (uses a 80mm fan). I would like it if I could change the fan to be 120mm to push around more air and not create a lot of noise. I can't use those 'cone shaped' adapters because the CPU cooler needs to be low profile (I have like 5-10mm to work with). Anyone have any suggestions?
80mm to 120mm fan adapter that is low profile?

You may get away with an adapter(still needs to be slim) + slim 120mm fan.
Slim fan like this. Please note this is not the most powerful fan.

You should first try the stock 80mm to see how it sounds, It may just surprise you.
What cpu are you cooling?

Yeah, I guess I should at least give the 80mm a try first...
The CPU is the A6-6400K overclocked from 3.9 to 4.3 GHz and will run at 60-80% load all day long, for 7 days straight at a time. Because of this, I figured the 80mm fan would end up getting a bit loud and that humming all day long would be bothersome.

Just a heads up that the cooler is rated for 65 watt cpus MAX so overclocking may not be the best for cooling.
It is a very basic cooler.
If you had more height you could have got much more cooling power. With the proximity to the power supply fan, you may want to either flip the power supply(if it still leaves room) or try the cpu cooler blowing into the power supply.
