The way I see SilenX's, 92mm and 120mm are fine, i got a couple of both, but the 80mm versions just push too little air, I'd go with panaflo for 80mm

the vary slightly from mobo to mobo.

you'll notice that the vercase with the cpu duct actually allows you to move the duct around a little to position it as close as possible to the cpu location.

Right, just got an emailing back from them.

They have upgraded the fan control circuit and 'cleaned up' the inside a bit.

I was hoping for a brand new A3, but I hope this will suffice :)
