Question for anyone with an 80mm case fan...

[Patrick G]

Well, I thought this was more of a general question than a cooling question, but I'll post here anyway:
I just ordered the Koolance system and I guess it also accepts an 80mm case fan which is not included. However, I think my current case fan may be 80mm, but I don't see it printed on the fan anywhere. Could someone measure the length from the outside edge of the top left screw hole to the outside edge of the top right screw hole on their 80mm fan so I can compare it to mine? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

An 80mm fan measures 80mm (8 centimeters or 3 18") from edge to edge, slightly less than that if you measure from the screws....
about 7.5cm in that case.

Thanks for posting in cooling. It might also be general hardware, but not general discussion. Thanks.

So, that's 3.18 inches from outside edge to outside edge (outside edge of fan case)?

sorry, that should have been 3 and 1/8th inches...damn keyboard.

Yes, from the outside edge to outside edge (outside edge of fan case).

Thanks a bunch!
