Two 92mm Side Fans

[vesther]

Should I even place 2 92mm Fans at the side of my case? I'm currently using a very quiet Thermaltake SilentBoost right now and I'm considering using two 92mm Fans to keep the computer cooled to the max.

Thoughts?

why not 2 120mm fans and make EVEN cooler, haha, ya go ahead and put them either in front of the video or in that general area

2 92mm case fans would defeat the purpose of a "very quiet" thermaltake heatsink.

sometimes 92mm fans cost more than 120mm fans.

Try some Vantec 92mm Stealth fans if noise is a concern. They push 28CFM at only 20dBA. Cost around $8.00 a piece. Another way to go for more CFM is the Vantec Thermoflow. Each fan has a temperature control sensor which adjusts the fans speed depending on the temp. Pushes from 34.8-58.5 CFM and is between 29-40dBA. Cost about $8.00 a piece as well.

vesther,
This is perhaps one of the best ive seen on the effects of fan placement and cooling.
