Not sure about the CPU fan size

Tudorel Oprisan · Oct 31, 2013

The producer doesn't really say anything about this.
The case is http://www.enermax.com/home.php?fn=eng/product_a1_1_2&lv0=2&lv1=55&no=44
The cooler is http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=34&lng=en&set=1
Would this fit together? I really want this fan, but i am not sure if it will fit in the case.
The version of the case is the one with the huge side fan.

Am I right when I say that you're looking for a fan that'd be sitting on top of the CPU? Or are you looking for a fan that can be put on the chassis and not on the motherboard itself?

I am not really sure. It's my first aftermarket cooler, i just heard this is one of the best air solutions... I also have a killer deal for it, so i am set to buy it if it fits in my case.

Well if you're looking for a fan to put on to the motherboard then you'd have to look up the socket for the CPU. An example could be a LGA1366 Socket. When you've found that socket type you'd have to look at the fan spec and see if it fits that socket type.
However if you're looking to put the fan on to the case then I'm afraid I can't help much because I've no experience in doing that.
And when it comes to the size of the fan vs. the width of the case then it may fit. But that også depends on how far the motherboard is set from the backside of the case (the opposite side of where you open it).

Ok, maybe i did not explain... I want a CPU fan. I checked the fan page, and it fits my CPU socket, and it support my mobo. I don't know if it will fit in the case, that is why i posted the case and fan pages and not cpu type / fan pages.

Ah very well! Well seeing as your case is 200mm wide and the fan is 160mm in height it may fit but as I said it depends how much distance there is between you motherboard and the other side of the case. My own case is 200mm wide and a 160mm fan would fit into it.
