[SOLVED] Need to add a fan

cetkat · 05-28-2009, 02:37 PM

I've realized that I need to add a fan at the back of my case since my new power supply doesn't draw the air out.

There's a pre-made hole in the case, and I've measured from the top of one screw hole to the bottom of the other - exactly 90mm. However, when I go to look at fans there are listings for 90mm & 92mm. One site claims that these are actually the same size - just listed differently. Is this true? If not, do I need the 92mm since the fan's overall dimensions extend a bit further than the holes?

I am pretty sure that both fan sizes will have the screw holes in the same place, it will be added width to the plastic/metal on the fan.

Thanks so much! That makes sense.
