    120mm blowhole?

    Just wondering, do 120 mm fans work well for blowholes? I only really see 80mm.

    If so, i'll be adding one, and of course, documenting everything for ya'll.

    I've seen 120mm blowholes in the past. One guy had 3x120mm blowholes
    I used to have 80mm one, but to be honest it didn't really do much for my temps.

    I have two 120mm ones and they're very good.

    I have one on the side of my Lian Li V2000, without it the temps were kinda high, now it's quite a bit cooler.

    My temps went up after fitting a 120mm blow hole, as i have two 80mm intakes at the fornt bottom and two 80mm extracts at the rear and the 120mm blow hole destoyed the airflow of the cool air moving over the components before being extracted.

    side panel blowholes usually mess up airflow indeed, one 120mm in the front, one 120mm in the back seems to offer the best noise/performance setup.

    or you could go all-out
