You can ad an 80mm fan UNDER the drive using a 5.25" frame kit and a
couple of 1/2"x2" long strips of metal bolted to the bottom of thr frame
,to hold the fan. I have a 7200rpm Compaq sca drive that got hot to the
touch in a normal 3.5" bay, it just locked up after 20 minutes or so:
movedit to a 5.25" bay ans didn't put anything in the lower bay. It
works great!
