I have a Coolermaster Elite 225 case, which I currently have a 120mm fan on the front and back, and an 80mm fan on the side.
I'm going to buy a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler, but there isn't enough room inside the case for both the cooler and the 80mm fan.
So what should I do with it?
One idea that I had was to replace the back 120mm fan with the 80mm and attach the 120mm onto the cooler as a second fan, would this be a good idea? (Considering the 120mm fan is not a PWM fan)

thats called push/pull and is only good with 2 identical fans
Give it to me.
cool down your pc
Had a couple of ideas:

Location 1: Will sit above the gap between the heard drive and graphics card, and will push air up to the CPU area. I'll use some electrical tape to hold the fan in place.
Location 2: Will screw onto the grill on the side of my case, but due to the spacing of the holes, I will only be able to screw in one corner.
Are either of these ideas good ideas?
A friend told me that idea 1 would be a bad idea because it's not screwed in. Would electrical tape provide good enough hold on the fan or is idea 1 really a bad idea?
You won't really need the 80mm.
The intake and exhaust 120mms will do just fine.
It's a shame because I brought cables for the fan then realised after buying them that the cooler would be too big to have the fan. (And the charge to return them would mean I would get little refund)
Oh well, eBay time...
Thanks for your help guys.
Build a flying pizza box with it.
