I don't think it's possible bro, the shroud is pretty much designed for the fans that comes with OCK itself and they are 130mm I believe(very weird no). What you can do is ghetto the h/s with zip ties and attach custom fans or another idea which recently hit me, since the h/s is pretty much similar to the Megahalems, maybe you can use the fan brackets of that and use it on the Frio, not sure if it'll work.

Just a rough guess. biggrin.gif

P.S I own the OCK too. wink.gif

Doesn't look possible without some decent modification. You might as well just purchase a better, more advanced, cooler that features better fans.

Don't the fans come off the top of heatsink? Like just after 3:00 in this video

As for mounting different fans on zip-ties are modders friend.
Small bungee cord works too.

Some pieces of an old mouse pad or similar to cushion between cooler and fan to stop vibration. I often use cabinet door/drawer bumpers

Yup, i thinking to do some painting to the shroud, and cutting fans edge to fit the shroud.

i can't afford the new HSF, especially when my current HSF running very well, never let CPU temp hike more than 60°C. I just dont like the shroud.

can i just buy generic fan clip ?

Yup, i can open the shroud without problem. Thanks for the tips, i will try it ASAP.

btw, on picture below, can i buy its shroud only without the HSF ? This shroud fit my case theme beautifully.
