2. 80mm is the max fan size for the ml03b case?
3. Can I live with the stock thermal tape on the A6-3500, or should I buy a better compound so that I can maybe keep my fans running slower and quieter?
1. For the fans, my opinion is the more you have, the slower they can spin. So you should check how much you can control.
2. I think so. The Noctua RF8 can be plugged directly to the PSU and use a resistance and they can spîn as slowly as 800RPM.
3. Don't know, I bought a thermal compumnd and my temps after 80min of 1080p files was ~40C. So quite low!
