i just posted in hardware board

btw, while i posted i had options to post sticky and announcement, for a sec i though i had been given mod status :(, i think you need to check the permissions in board control for the hardware board as normal users have some extra options they shouldn't :)

This is because you are running a given amount of air through the smaller hole size, except it is eased into the increased pressure (vs. larger hole). I would just suggest getting out the Dremel and increasing the hole. Heck, just put a window in while your at it.

vee...I seem to be getting mixed signals...or I am just plain slow. At first it apprears that you are talking about a fan adapter on the heatsink for your processor...and later you seem to be talking about a blow hole. I am concerned with the heatsink on the processor...fan adapter...putting a bigger fan on with lower decibel, but higher or equal CFM

I was reffering to a system fan. With a CPU fan, a fan adapter would be your best bet, as it will probably do a little bit of both. If you do decide to put a fan adapter, I would try to put the biggest one you can.

My system also runs cool.

It used to run cooler, at around 85F or 30C, but then it got warmer when I moved the computer to a lesser circulated area. But I don't care, I don't even have a system fan on it.

RogueProtoKol, you might want to make sure you have no dust in your system, and check the circulation around the system. No matter how many fans there are in your system, they only move air, they don't cool it, so if you don't have cool air replacing the warm air, your going to toast your CPU. Don't forget, every 10 degrees Celcius higher your CPU runs, it drops the life of it in half.
