Well, the one I got is Akasa, ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£2.87 from Dabs (quicklink 3058WS). However, it's probably going in the bin coz there's a problem with it - it's got holes around the 60mm area that it screws onto (if you look at the dabs site you should see what I mean).

Have a google and you should find the reviews of it. They all say it's crap, coz the extra 20mm of fan blade doesn't blow through the heatsink. If your 60mm fan needed to run at 2000rpm then your new 80mm one will also need to run at 2000rpm. So pointless then.

I'll have a look elsewhere. I'm after one that's basically a funnel. They are all over the place. I don't understand what Akasa were thinking when they came up with this one.

Ebay item 160003891971 looks more promising to my little brain.
