120mm on 140mm?

post #1 of 10

Thread Starter 
I'm trying to get a 140mm PWM fan, but it seems as if all of them have 120mm mounts. Can i mount them anyway? This is getting a bit frustrating as I'm not sure why they all go with the 120mm mount..

So something like these:

http://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-TY-140-140mm-160mm-PWM/dp/B00429TWM2

They all have the 120mm mount, but are 140mm fans. My case is made for a 140mm fan

Don't get a 120mm mount fan for a 140mm, it will not fit.

what case do you have? Many cases accept both 120mm and 140mm mounting patterns.

My noctua fans both have 120mm and 140mm mount.

on fractal cases the front 140mm can only be box chassis because of the attaching mechanism.
but a lil more info from the OP would be better, than i want this.... but it wont fit!
