I want to ditch front push air 92 MM fan away,
I think all they dust my case and HDD (IMHO) correct if I am wrong
I want install passive cooling tower/wing to cool that off.
My goal is to have my system adequate at quietiest (sp) level
Hareware is follow

North Bridge really get hot; because of that I down grade my self from Tuniq 120 stock intel so MB Mofset and chipset get little bit cooler
Now my south bridge is under my Video Card. I am not sure how it will be with front fans :confused:
Here are some pics

So Question is if ditch front fans and intall one of these Thermalright] HR -05-SLI , Thermaltake Extreme Spirit II, Nexus NHP-2200 or stock cooler is ok ?

BTW there is not O.C is here
 
Any tiny fan will not be quiet at all. Leave the stock heatsink since you're not overclocking.

If you can cut out the front grill to fit a 120 mm fan. And get the Thermalright Hr+1 cooler and a 1500 rpm fan for the cpu.

I can not cut on front grill
Problem is with those Tower they do not cool off mofset and Choke and passive chipset.
so had to pass on those
 
Get a down-draft cooler like the Thermalright SI-120 (I think this is what it's called?). Maybe replace your northbridge sink as well.
