After converting all my 92mm fans to Nexus.....the noisiest thing inside my case is now the 8800 GTS.

and its getting more and more annoying.

Is anyone using an HR-03 Plus with this motherboard?

My problem is I have a sound card on the bottom most slot and it looks like it will be a tight fit, especially since I intend on mounting a 92mm fan on the HR-03.

Thanks for any help.

Here's a picture of the baord. You can see, that if the HR-03 PLus already takes 2 slots, mounting the fan will take another slot and be very, very close to the last PCI slot.

Not recommended as the HR-03 Plus' fan will be touching the back of your sound card and that may block off the air intake of the fan.

You can't wrap the hr-03 above the 8800GTS? If you do, it would probably only take one slot above and provide room for your fan as well.

Yeah, looking at the picture of the board, you have tons of space *above* the PCI-E slot, assuming you don't need either of the PCI-E x1 slots. Mount the HR-03+ wraparound style, and get a quiet 92mm for the top of it =)
