Modifying Zalman CNPS9500?

[Star Fox]

Would it be possible to mount a 120mm fan next to the heatsink in leui of the stock 92mm one?

From what I've heard, this heatsink is the best on the market, but is rather loud.

What do you guys think?

Its been done. You can see some pictures here (scroll down to the bottom)

With the included fan controller set to about 70-80% max speed, it's not loud.

I do not care about how loud it is, but mine's making my E6600 idle at ambient room temperature.

Am I missing something here? If your proc idles at ambient that's as low as you can go without water or high end cooling...

How can your processor idle at ambient...

If your processor is at ambient then even water can't help you.

i did a 92mm fan mod to my zalman, just replaced that led one with a more silent fan, it was very easy to make, i think that doing a 120mm fan mod cant be that difficult to make. you should do a bouble 120 mm fan mod, that thing whould be sweet
