I think you'll find that the CPU itself is hotter than the heatsink |

Thanks - I remember that the hole spacing for the screws was about 8cm apart, and saw that this spacing corresponds to 90 / 92mm fans via QuietPC's page. I noticed that QuietPC sells AcoustiFans with gel mounts to dampen the vibrations, but these seem to use sleeve bearings. How would sleeve bearings compare with single-ball bearing and double-ball bearing fans? A guy in Dick Smiths told me that sleeve bearing fans are generally quieter because of fewer moving parts, but I've also heard that ball-bearing fans last longer (although I'm not sure by how much). Is this 'long-lasting' property of ball-bearing fans a fact or some marketing myth? Do the Enermax aluminium fans come in a 92mm size? I've looked on the Ascent website and they only list an 80mm and 120mm version. I might still try searching for a few reviews on these fans when I get the time. |

| 271914 | 2004-09-15 07:28:00 | You can probably get a fan adapter from 120mm to 90/92mm whereby you can mount the larger fan to the smaller ones screw holes. Cheers Murray P |
