Case / CPU cooler issue

AMDThunder · Apr 22, 2014

I have the Azza Solano 100 case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811517004

Knew the Hyper 212 Evo was big, but thought it would certainly fit in my case. And it does until you put the side back on with the monster 230mm fan. For now, I just removed it. Temps are fine, but I'm sure I'm have better air flow with it installed and running.

I haven't measured the thickness of the fan casing, but I'm guessing between half and 3/4 of an inch. Any suggestions for maybe a slim line 230mm fan?

Thanks!

badboyrog2 :

Was looking to replace the side case fan, not the cooler itself. Thanks though.

better to go with 120 mm fans like corsair af or ap series instead of 230 mm size..because they are rare and not slim

That's what I wasn't sure about. Can't mount 120mm fans on that side piece. Its made for the 230mm fan specifically. I wasn't able to find a 'slimmer' version, but thought I'd ask just in case. A smaller fan would work if there were such a thing as a bracket/adapter so it could be attached.

Kind of a "duh" answer. The 212 Evo will mount sideways. That should leave room for the side fan. Not so sure the heat spreaders will clear that way though.
