I see the dimensions of the heatsiink are: L96 x W59 x H44 mm Top, Without fan. L34 x W59 Base. Wouldn't a 92mm or even an 80mm fan be too wide and not long enough? Does this matter at all?

I mean, only 67% of a 92mm fan would actually cover this heatsink. So, only 67% of the listed 56.8cfm airflow would actually be going into the hs...that's 38cfm and 35db....not quite as great of a noise/performance ratio as i would like..

Also, i have absolutely no idea how loud 35 db is...does anyone know where i can find the specs for the stock hs/fan for the amd 2200+ so i can use my current noise as a comparison?


Sorry for all the questions...i can't order this for another couple days, so i figured i might as well make sure i'm getting exactly what i want and need.
