Increase CFM on Fop HS by using 120mm mount?

[paruhd0x]

Has anyone instead of using this for quieting their system... has anyone slapped like a 130CFM 120mm fan on and seen a HUGE temperature decrease? Just wondering...

The heatsink probably wouldn't be able to transfer heat that fast....
interesting thought though

i suppose it may, because on my FOP38, the metal is still quite warm even with that 34cfm delta on it

just did the test..wholly crap..what a fit..anyway. the decrease in temp was the least to say...nifty.

went from my normal 27c idle(700@10500 to 22idle. full load on 80mm is 42c 120mm is 38c

not too bad..btw i am using a sunon fan..108 cfm..

not as quiet as the 80 but really cool

006agent, wow cool! Hey where can I get the adaptor you got? I want to stick a 120mm fan on my fop32! lol

wow. 22 idle at 10500 is great.

I just added a 92 slow to my FOP and it made no change in my idle speed 3 hours at work making this thing it was more for quite than cool but there was no difference there either with 4 case fans lol

FOP38's are awesome !!! got my 550@800 idling ~28, but thats just cause the weather here (cali) has been very warm lately... a few weeks ago i was idling ~24
