Yea but it would prob hit your mobo or cpu heatsink/fan. Are you trying to stick 2 in at once?

You could always use ducting for it or something.

Sounds good, I thought about trying this before. Should ask clocker and the other pc fanatics about the cooling. :lol:

What is your aim?? Purely performance, but at the cost of noise??
Or would you want a quiet 120mm fan that does not cool as well?

You can get 120mm fans that are less then 20dBa or you can get a 120mm fan that is over 50dBa.
So my question was which type does he want, a loud one that cools relaly well? Or a quiet one that doesn't cool as well.
Your off the ball again today SingaBoiy ;)

In that case I think the Panaflo "Medium" might be a good choice for you, rated at 86CFM and 35 dBA, it is a nice fan indeed.
Or the "High" which is rated at 103CFM but is slightly noisier at 41dBa
