I cant remember where I saw this but they suggested bending out the fan hooks and sticking an 80mm case fan on the hs instead of the 60mm ystech for more airflow, less rpm & noise.

Worked like a charm and took 2 fingers and 2 minutes!

Delta fan owners look like old sawmill workers!

Be sure to use a fan guard. They're only a buck. I used to be in the habit of checking my fans with my finger tips.

damn I suck.. I was trying to put an 80mm fan on my fop32 when it was still on the mobo, well the power was off, but still plugged in. I dropped a clip, and it went under the ATX connector. DAMN! I lifted it out, and it shorted the mobo, the fans spun up, and that was it. Mobo is toast.
