I was thinking of replacing my duct with an exhaust fan, maybe angled a little because it's not directly over the CPU. Might be a nuiance if you want to open the case however.

You could do the same with a specialist vibration absorbant foam but you may need a needle to make a small initial hol...

Hmm, got my NF4 today along with a 40mm SilenX fan. I don't see how this can be mounted, the stock cooler only has two mounting pins. To remove the stock one should I should pull the plastic pins out with pliers? And if this 40mm fan doesn't work out will I have to cut up my NV Silencer 5 if I go fo...
