Default 80mm vs 92mm Fan?

Hi there,



I am trying to decide what size fan to buy for my current P4 build. I am
not sure whether a 80mm or 92mm is best. AT first I thought 92mm was the
way to go but after having read a few reviews around the web it seems like
the 80mm fans are giving better performance due to their smaller *hub* size,
which reduces the size of the dead-zone.



I am also trying to decide what Heat-Sink to use also, it's down to the
ThermalRight SP-94 Swiftech MCX478-V which are both good solutions, so I'm
not sure whether I need a *Tornado* Type solution or go with a quiet
version.



I intend to overclock my P4c 2.6GHz to 3.2GHz +



Anyone had experience of the different sized fans?



Despite the possible larger *Dead-Zone* of the 92mm fans, I wondered also if
their larger size could help keep the motherboard components near the CPU
(MOSFETs) a little cooler?



Thanks for any feedback. .
