So..whats the dela with attaching a 120 mm fan to one of the two openings on the left side panel on the slk3000b ???? Are people seeing dramatic temp reductions putting a fan there???

Well I have a TT tsunami case (it's pretty much the same case, just different exterior) and I have a GlacialTech 120 fan @5v (it spins very slowly, you can almost see the blades moving) and my cpu temp is better for about 6-7 C compared to the no fan sidepanel

@dibek: did you drill new holes in your side panel, or use an 80-120 adapter?

I drilled a new hole.

BTW the original fan is a 92mm one.

I have both fans blowing down onto the CPU (the cooler is a 7000A-cu LED).
