Turns out I have a spare 80mm fan... What to do??

[Stildawn]

Hi all.

Turns out my Cooler Master 80mm fan I brought to go behind my mobo in my new CM690 case doesnt fit....

So Im left with it to be to other use...

So where in a CM690 case should I put it lol.

So should I put it in the bottom slot? (I dont think it would fit on the top side slot as my CM V8 HSF is pretty massive)

Or should I jimmy it in with cable ties or something somewhere else more imaginative? I was thinking I could some how front mount it?

Cheers

put it on the bottom then your running 1v1 fan configuration 3 bringing cool air in 3 pulling hot air out

and another thing if i were you i would get one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999141 to push cool air in sense your hdd rack interferes with air flow i have one works great in my 590 for an extra front fan

On the bottom. Lol ok...

Also this thing is sitting on carpet at the moment.... Should I get a board to sit on?

I would actually recommend not putting your computer on the floor at all. Put it on a desk or elevate it a couple feet off the ground at least. It collects less dust this way.

Sadly the huge ass thing wont fit in my computer desk tower place thing lol. So Ill have to come up with some imaginative way to elevate it..

So bottom mounted is the way to go?
