| Being new in all this and if I understand correctly, if you put a 120 mm fan in your case door opposite of the cpu cooler, your cpu gets better cooling then with a 80 mm fan attached to the cooler? |

| Ah And what is the best solution: 1) A 120 mm fan in your casedoor cooling your cpu? 2) A 120 mm fan with a fan adapter attached on your cpu cooler? 1a)And wich setup of these 2 make's lesser noise? 1b)And if this setup is better why don't we see this more often or why isn't there in every case a 120 mm fan in casedoors? |

| Best cooling = A 120 mm fan with duct in your casedoor cooling your cpu... only if you have sufficient intake Of course this will make more noise because the fan is outside & you have a 120mm hole in your box. 1b) assembly more difficult -> price goes up -> only freaks would buy it -> but freaks make the holes themselves -> so no one would buy it

| a duct is a kind of an adapter. an example: when you have an 120mm fan and your HS is only made for an 80 mm fan ( normaly ) the duct will guide the air to the HS and there will be no loss what so ever. on overclockers.com ( i think ) the made an fanduct out of iron i think that would be better than cardboard greetz |

| So, if I understand correctly: A 120 mm fan with a adapter (120 mm to 80 mm), placed in your casedoor, provides better cooling then a 120 mm fan with adaptor placed upon the cpu cooler. BUT, this setup is louder then when you placed the 120 mm fan with adapter inside the case on the cpu cooler. Because I want a silent system option 2 is maybe better for me? Or is the difference in noise not THAT big? |

| if you want it quiet, take care of a decent airflow put a fanadapter w/ 120mm fan blowing on the CPU HS (use something like ducktape or ties, it's too much weight for a socket) put the fan at 5 or 7v, this won't be too loud. use a decent noise-isolation product and it will be really silent my fanduct: |
