I can't take this stupid vaccuum anymore, so I just bought a 80mm Enermax adjustable fan, an 60 to 80 mm fan converter, and a sunon 92mm fan for the back to replace the one that burned out a month ago. The new fan is rated at 32.5 db and pushes 39.5 CFM instead of 48 db and 37 CFM for the old delta. I've forgotten what it was like to have a quiet fan. To let you know how much I hate that noisy bugger, I'm looking more forward to this than my TI4400/8500 Ultra(if it IS announced at Cebit).
is that a new panaflo fan?
did you have a 60mm delta?
you should try the 80mm delta (but not the 68cfm crap), the 80cfm delta. pushes more air than most 92mm fans.
there is a 120mm delta at sidewinder computers, and it pushes 190cfm
delta also has a TRIPLE blade fan (the others are double), it's a 120mm fan, 76.2mm thick and pushes 220 cfm at a mere 59dba.
don't worry if you put in this triple blade fan, you will only hear when it winds up, after it winds up you won't be able to hear it, you also won't be able to hear your mp3's, but who cares? you got almost the best air cooling.
the other best air cooling would be, is to have a 16" car fan pushing 1500cfm over your whole mobo, then you don't even need a fan on your heatsink

Moving to Cases and Cooling.
I have the 80mm 80cfm delta and man it is loud. It is louder then my 120mm fan. But man it works great.
