Can Swiftech MCX462+ take a 92mm fan?

[mrman3k]

I am considering between the Swiftech MCX462+ and the SLK900, except that I do not think the SLK900 will fit on my motherboard. I would like to know if it is possible to mount a 92mm fan, even though it cannot be mounted officially.

Oh yes, indeed it is. I have a Panaflo H1A 92mm running on top of mine. First bend the mounts out a little. Then, put one of these on top of each side to raise the fan (otherwise it won't clear the aluminum pins). I also grabbed four of these to put behind teh fan grill, but that's more of a personal taste thing. It keeps my temps as low as I'd like them to be, so I'm happy with it.

You know where I can find any reviews for the Swiftech HSF?

Ilmater, thanks, I was wondering if it is possible for you to post any pics of your setup! I think I will for sure end up with the MCX since the SLK will not clear a few capacitors.

Could anyone please post to show me some pics of how this should look once it is done?

Bump.
