After a bit of Googling it looks like they are snake oil (or at least

airflow /reduce noise when used on 80mm case side vents? Or is
pressure as important here too?


Might have some marginal value on an intake fan (acting as a plenum)
but pretty much snake oil for an exhaust fan.


Sorry in should have said "intake" rather than "vent".

I suspect a 80-120 adapter inside the case sidewall will mean the outside
air comes in a bit close to the motherboard? And should be a bit quieter at
the same throughput?

I guess I will have to suck it and see
