I don't think you can use these with 200mm Spectre Pros, can you? They aren't long enough I think.

Are those rubber fan mounts prone to breaking when you remove the fan? I've never used them and am curious as to their durability.

ALL Spectre Pro fans come with special long ones. You can see the included accessories here. There are several different types made by other companies that fit every kind of fan.

The cheaper ones can over time. I've always used higher quality ones like Nexus and never had any issues.

What's the best 200mm fan for maximum noise reduction without sacrificing too much airflow?

Bitfenix Spectre Pro or CM Megaflow. Removing the front mesh is highly recommended as well. thumb.gif

The BitFenix Spectre Pro 200mm fan is the one fan thats the most popular on here besides the CM MegaFlow. I recommend the Spectre Pro fan since I'm biased towards it having it for myself lol thumb.gifbiggrin.gif
