Quick question about fans.

burritoking924 · 02-10-2008, 06:57 PM

Im going to be upgrading my graphics card soon so I decided I should get a new fan. I dont know how big the size of the fan is (Its a HP a1310n if anyone knows the size) but I think its 90mm. I plan on getting a 120mm fan and I'm wondering if it will fit. Ive never modified a cooling system so I know nothing about this. Thanks ahead of time.

Just measure it, if you're American and use inches, simply use some type of unit conversion....thing.

Here's an example.

^I'm also not sure why that's on a a jewelry site...but w/e works.

Ok. I'll do that tonight. But will a fan thats bigger then the current size fit?

If you're talking about a case fan, it depends whether it's got holes drilled for the screws.
