Gooserider:
At 1st I was like WTF is that?! Then it came to light, I see what you mean, a dual fan/split shroud... sounds interesting, but I don't think that I have the room for it and it would just add more complexness... yeah the side angle noise could be a prob... DEPENDING on which side I have my case on... If I have it on my left it will be facing me, but if I set case on the right, it'll be away... Hrmm I might just stick with this bottom setup OR go back to the 172mm fan and test out the case temps and CPU temps... I'm being lazy over the holidays, so hrmm... I'll get back with folks, thanks for the replies and PLEASE even if you don't post a reply, plz vote, I need more votes
