Asus Sabertooth

Picked up a cheap & working Sabertooth board from a well known auction site.

From what I've read, you can fit a extra 50mm fan to aid cooling.

Thought about removing it's cover, but is there such a thing as a 50mm to 120mm fan adaptor made.
Got a few 80mm to 120mm adaptors in the spares box which got thinking a bit whether I could fit a 120mm fan instead of the 50mm one.

it would look stupid, but you could get a 50-80mm adapter, and screw the 80-120mm adapter on top of it.

or, you could just get a bigger passive heatsink for whatever that bit is cooling

Just use a 80mm fan with an adaptor

If you attached a 120mm fan wouldn't it block your top pci-e and cpu? The 50mm fan is fine for the board, its enough to drop it a couple of degrees.

Thanks for the replies, just thinking about a idea I have for a new build using the board & a custom case design.
