92mm to 60mm Fan adapter and MC462

[Quaggoth]

I was just messin around at www.plycon.com and noticed that they have some 92mm to 60mm fan adapters the will let a person mount a 92mm fan on a HS that was designed for a 60mm. They look like they are pretty good quality. If I got a 110CFM 92mm fan and one of these, what do you suppose I could expect from an MC462? Would the glaciator be a better choice? It sounds like this would just be an awesome combo, but maybe some of you have more info....

they're better for suction (alphas) than for blowing (everything else).

The MC462 is made for an 80mm fan, not a 60mm fan. You would need a 92-80mm adapter in order for it to mount correctly.

If you buy all that stuff you will be spending close to or over 100.00, for the few extra degrees I don't think it's worth it, not too mention what everyone else in here has said.

The Swiftech MC 462 is setup for a 80mm fan. I have a 92mm Panaflo ultra fan on mine, 68.8 cfm. You just turn the fan 90 degrees and use a 80mm fan grill to hold it to the heatsink. You wull need to get four #6 screws that are 2.5 inches long to do this mod. You do not need to buy an adaptor.

Ahh, thanks. I thought the 462 was just like all the others.... I will definately get the 462 and a good 92mm fan. Thanks.
