any one ever try a 80mm to 92mm fan adapter on a heatsink ?

any one ever try a 80mm to 92mm fan adapter on a heatsink? i am thinking about doing this b/c i would like to get more air with less dba. i dont really want to use a 80mm to 120mm fan adapter because that would be heavy and take up a lot of space. if any one has ever used a 80mm to 92mm adapter, does it work well?

adapters have been discussed many times. try the search feature. it should turn up threads for you.

The problem with adapters is that you tend to lose air flow from the restrictive nature of the adapter itself. A better solution (one which I do myself and have found works very well) is to duct air directly to your CPU from outside the case via a side blowhole. The duct can be made from a variety of materials (I use a cutup large Taco Bell cup, but you can use pretty much anything). It also helps if you have a fan at the beginning of the duct pushing air towards the CPU fan.

i am already planning on ducting with a 120mm fan on the side of my case i was just wondering how well a 92mm fan would do on the heatsink
