|  Thermaltake Ductingmod
Thermaltake now has a Ductingmod recommended for the Volcano series fans, but still works on any 80mm HSF.
These things reduce noise A LOT, which is a plus since the Volcano series can tend to get noisy in higher RPMs. Check it out

I can't find a place to purchase it yet. But I will most certainly snatch one up once I find it!
P.S. shoot I searched the site and thought no one else had mentioned this. meh...

It's cool, I just want to know if it actually works.
If it drops noise and temps, I'd probably go for it. | |

I guess if you had it pointing up and had a case fan directly above it, it may cool better | |

I have something like that in my HP. It does reduce noise and keep the case cooler. It does fairly well. | |

You would think pointing it down would have a better impact, since hot air rises you'ld be getting cooler air from lower in the case, and less recycled Heated air. | |
