Should I even place 2 92mm Fans at the side of my case? I'm currently using a very quiet Thermaltake SilentBoost right now and I'm considering using two 92mm Fans to keep the computer cooled to the max.
Thoughts?

2 92mm case fans would defeat the purpose of a "very quiet" thermaltake heatsink. | |

sometimes 92mm fans cost more than 120mm fans. | |

Try some Vantec 92mm Stealth fans if noise is a concern. They push 28CFM at only 20dBA. Cost around $8.00 a piece. Another way to go for more CFM is the Vantec Thermoflow. Each fan has a temperature control sensor which adjusts the fans speed depending on the temp. Pushes from 34.8-58.5 CFM and is between 29-40dBA. Cost about $8.00 a piece as well. | |
