Help w/ 80mm Fans

[pchoi04]

Well... I need a set of fans for my case that will be able to move some air. I dont think my cooler masters are really cutting it and I want something that will give me a good performance to noise ratio.

Any Advice?

An 80mm to 120mm fan adapter would make it possible to improve case air flow and over all cooling quite a bit. A 120mm fan will do much better at moving air than a smaller 80mm. You could use sometning like this x 2.

My case only supports 80mm... When I bought my case I didnt even think about it. Great case though still love it.

To improve case cooling, you might try an 80mm to 120mm fan adapter. Find one at your local computer store, like Fry's electronics has them.

80mm fans will cool it just fine. Apevia actually makes some good quality cheap case fans. I have an 80mm an 120mm Apevia and they are whisper quiet and move a good amount of air. 80mm have to spin faster to move the same amount of air as a 120mm fan, that is why 120mm fans are more desirable. They are simply quieter at the same cfm rating.
