60mm to 120mm converter

[CyberFed]

Hey guys i have a swiftech mcx 478 that has a 60mm fan on it, and i want to buy a 120mm to 60mm so i can drop in a 105cfm 120mm fan to get some serious air in there! Where can i find this delightful little tool for the best price
Cheers

your local hardware store.

get a furnace duct.
My buddy has a 120mm fan on a Globewin FOP38 HSF

thanks for the post, i did a little more research and i heard is not that good to do because it actually restricts airflow and creates a bigger dead spot, but i'll think of something.

you have to mount the fan at a distance when you do that mod.
If it is too close, yes the deadspot will hurt cooling.
But if you have some distance the air is able to make it to the center....
You have to give the duct time for the "Funneling" of air to work

Thanks buddy i guess i'll give it a shot and if temps get too high i can always use the 120mm fan for case cooling

dont you mean you have a 80mm fan? Thats what the Swiftech uses. And btw you can get a 80mm to 120mm from www.plycon.com for about 16-17bucks US.

And about the Dead spot, I emailed plycon and swiftech and they both gave me the same answere. It does restrict flow, but if you have a 100CFM+ fan it will perform just as good if not better than the 80CFM Delta.

i think im going to go with another delta 80mm (i messed up and put 60mm) that moves 80cfm and a 120mm at the bootom of the case blowing the hot air off the area so that it doesnt get sucked back in with the fan, i also have 6 80mm fans that i'm going to use to cool the agp/pci/mobo area and also for exhust, so i think that'll be nice, i'll post temps when im done
