Just wondering if the fan has to be a specific size for different cases/CPUs.

I'm going to buy an asus sabertooth 990fx R2.0 as the motherboard
Case: Cit mars midi tower
CPU: AMD FX-6300

Can someone tell me what determines whether or not a fan will fit into a setup.

I'm looking to buy the cooler master hyper 212 EVo (120mm)

Thanks for any response.

Yep, the Hyper 212 Evo will fit into the case fine.

The Hyper 212 Evo comes with a mounting bracket that you can use on Intel 1556/1155/1150 sockets as well as the AM3+ socket on the Asus Sabretooth board.

Thats a good one.However,I am not familiar with that case.What I have purchased recently is the TX3 EVO,because this one fits the bill of any micro-ATX.
And if can squeeze more your pocket I suggest go for Corsair Liquid Coolers.

Thanks a lot! That's the last piece to my gaming PC, time to order the pieces in a few weeks.
