'Ello lads.
The first fan on my dual-x (the one closest to the metal bracket) is louder than the stock HSF that came with my 965. That's feckin' loud.
I do happen to have a spare "be quiet! Pure Wings 2 1500RPM 120mm" fan. These lil' doozies keep things cool and are practically silent; I was thinking of removing the dud fan, and then cable-tying the 120mm fan to the shroud.
Thing is, I don't know how effective that'd be. What with the whole, err, shroud thing. I have read reviews on those fans which take up a pci bracket in yer case, so as to cool your graphics card; seems that they work a treat (-10C), so mayhaps my ghetto plannin' holds a bit of weight?
So yeah. Tying a 120mm fan on a HSF that has a working 92mm fan next to it. Good idea, or bad?
