where to find 92mm to 80mm fan adaptors?

I just bought a thermaltake AX-7 heatsink from newegg and am trying to find an adapter so I can use my 92mm fan with it. Any one know of a place that sells 92mm to 80mm fan adaptors???

Thanks in advance!

You mean 80mm to 92mm right?
Well there are bunch of people that are in the same situation that you are in. My advice is just to build one. The design that you create can actually have less turbulence than the ones you buy. Also the weight problems that adapters and bigger fans might give you HS mount problems. I dont know the dimensions or the mounting method of the HS but I would reccomend building it yourself took me 20min and 1$. Worth every dollar and minute!

I agree you dont want to put too much force on the MB by weiging down the HSF with another gadget.... If youre crafty enough to build on then go for it like trdsw20 says, however if your like me and are not a craftsman, then your can buy a plastic one Here. I wouldn't think these weight too much either since they're plastic .... Good Luck.... Let us know how it works out ....

well, i went to home depot and found a plastic adaptor for $1.76 and modded it to fit my fan and my heatsink...saved me a lot of money by not buying one online and paying for shipping! Thanks guys
