This case has openings for 120mm fans, and it was noisy as heck with them in. Switched to quiet vs airflow and dont have any better results on O/C potential. Temps are the same just less noise.

1 or 2 degrees difference in temp is a mute point for a stable O/C IMHO if your chip will take it then these fans will pull out the heat

BTW- I have a stock hsf

kind of a noob question... but do you use a 3 to 4-pin adapter to power all three fans? And does an adapter make a difference... like the power supplied directly from the PSU vs. indirectly from the 3-pin connection on the MOBO.

The adapter doesn't make a difference as long as the fan gets power somehow. Only reason they are used is because there aren't enough fan headers on a mobo to power 3-5 fans.

Can you get thermostats so the fan doesn't run all the time? When my system is idle it doesn't need it...
