Fans and 120mm to 140mm fan adaptors
Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 7:49 am
Hi!
I want to fit a fan into my three 5 25" slots. There is space for a 140mm fan, but I could find only a 120mm frame for that purpose: http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/rebel9-fan-frame
I plan to use it on the INSIDE side of the 5 25 slot, so that the fan is closer to the VGA. I really like Silverstone's 140mm Air Penetrator and thought of using an adapter to mount it on the frame. The adapter looks like this http://www.caseking.de/shop/catalog/Fan ... 12716.html
So it will be like:
<=== 140mm Fan + 140mm to 120mm Adapter + 120mm Frame .......................................................... Mesh 5 25" covers.
I heard that the adapters do nothing good to the airflow, but since it will be on the intake side of the fan it should not be a big deal. Am I right? Or using just a 120mm fan will be better?
Thanks!
