Does anyone know if there is any company that makes or sells a 120mm to 80mm fan adapter?

If not, do you think one of those Zalman universal fan arms would support a 120mm 120cfm fan?

I was thinking of getting a swiftech MC462-A and using this bad boy to move some serious air over it :D

Your probably better off making a duct & mounting the 120mm fan on the side of the case. Fan adaptors dont really work.

I thought about making a duct but I usually leave the side panel off.

There is a bigger deadspot on a 120mm fan which will cause you to have poor cooling on you HS of coice. You want the YS-Tech 120mm 131CFM right? Got one of those & a proper duct, not just a wide to narrow design, will work. There has been a ton of threads regarding this adaptors/funnels on why they are no good & also why people like them. You can do a search of the forums for them and also look for the Velocity Duct. If you need more help just post back. The people here must be getting tired of me bashing these adaptors/funnels but if they don't work why would I want a fellow O/Cer to use them:beer:

pfft, if you want to move serious air get a 172mm fan. 200+ cfm from a single fan :)
