Are You Using Dual 80mm Fans?

Can your dual 80mm fans(or similar) compete with a single 120mm fan?

I assume you are referring to 2 80's in the front and a 120 in the back or visa versa. Sure, why not.

Oh, I think I see what you mean now. Just add the cfm for the two 80's and compare that to the cfm of the 120. There must be a sticky about that.

With my new case, not a chance. 120mms forever!

A 120mm fan would not even fit in my SFF InWin V500 cases - 1x80 in PSU , 1x80 exhaust + 1x CPU fan
The cases are only 12 inches High x 13.5 inches long x 6.5 wide about the size of an Antec Aria on it's side

Well, almost at least -- it's a few millimeters less, but shouldn't cause you much trouble. If it does, use a 92mm instead.

I would cut the case and throw a 92mm fan in. Did that with my son's computer and it works well.

The 120 will not fit because it has to sit beside the I/O shield - A 92 can be fitted(with the aid of a Dremmel) but 80mm quiet fans are easier to find and with the aid of a Badong flexible duct from the front of the case to the CPU cooler you can get very good CPU temps but the case temps go up just a little

Although the Badong is meant to go to the rear of the case -I have mounted it to the front fan mounting , minus the fan . This being possible becuase of the small case size.
