[QUOTE="amitkher, post: 1861672, member: 34721"] Remember 80mm gives only 44% airflow as compared to same quality 120mm fans. Noise is very nearly equal. Since your cabinet supports 120 mm fans, there is no reason to use 80 mm. And as shown by hardwaresecrets, side fans are bad for CPU temperatures. So try just one 120 mm fan (the rear one in exhaust mode). If CPU temperatures are high (extremely unlikely), don't add side fan but get a better CPU cooler because side fans will add noise without helping CPU temperature. If chipset temperatures are high (also unlikely), get side fan, but 120mm. EDIT : maybe you are going by rated CFM , static pressures, power consumption etc. If so, big mistake.
