Prolimatech Sam 17 on gigabyte ga-h77n-wifi -1155 inside elite 120
Idle temp. 37c-41c which is good (for me) considering the tight space elite 120 has.

Those concern of space and measurements.

I used the vortex 14 fan. Please dont forget this fan is good but will block PCIE and addtional fanon the Elite 120.
Overall this fan is really very silent and does deliver the airflow needed.

Those who wants to know how much space it blocks the chipset.

Those who wants to know how much space it blocks the ram height.

Those who wants to know how much space in between if you were to fit a pci-e. *no problems unless u used a 140mm fan tho.

* i did some additonal tests using several fans on the CPU heatsink
prolimatech vortex 14 (pwm)- silent at 16db, cool.
deepcool UF120 (pwm) - silent at 17-20db but has 1-2 deg diff higher than vortex 14.
corsair 120mm hi performance pwm fan - 1-2 deg lower diff from deepcool, abit noisy (still silent for some of you but its noticable to me) at above 27 dba
personal conclusion... ah who cares lah as long as quiet and does the job well.
Thanks Nic.
