Hi,
I'd like to get a big 200mm fan to use as intake for the front of my Source 530 case since it only came with 2 120mm fans already placed as outtakes.

I've read somewhere that for that size, not all fans were compatibles so I wanted to know if any of you have any experience using a 200mm in front of this case or if someone knows which fans could be use on that case without drilling new holes into it.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Asked the support over at NZXT.com and they told me that only the FZ model was compatible...

Pretty stupid IMO, but what can you do...

Yeah, same with the Phantom 530. I also asked about 200mm fan compatibility, said only FZ series 200mm case fans will fit. I've also read other reviews of 200mm case fans have different measurements of where the mounting holes are, so they won't fit the NZXT cases.

Honestly, the 200mm fans should have standard mounting holes like 80mm-140mm case fans. But I guess it's a marketing thing.
