exhanging the mid fan in a tj10 case

[Nimafor]

anyone know how to exhange the mid fan that is blowing cool air onto the gpu?

i just cant get the damn fan out of there, wanna exhange the fan that came with the case to a noctua fan.

to the forums!

I would suggest removing some of the screws that are directly in front of the camera

already did that, the only thing that does is remove the fan protector, behind it is like a damn fan fortress with a small window, removing the screws on that gets the fan and can get the grill behind it loose but still not enough to squeeze the fan out of the damn thing

Can you take a picture without the grill? Does it have screws on the back or does it just slide off?

is what it looks like after removing the fan protector and lose the 4 screws behind it (which only makes you able to move the lose fan within the cage not actually getting it out)

behind it is a metal net to intake cold air from the tunnel behind

Can you get a picture looking at the back of it? There is something holding it on...

this is the grill i was talkin about which i cant get out of the way to remove fan

Hmm...I see no way to remove the fan unless there are screws that go into the HDD rack from the grill side.

Your going to laugh when you read this, it was right on the silverstone site. Guide for how to remove the center fan...

I just got this case and had the same idea to replace the wimpy mid-intake fan. Basically, you will be unscrewing half your case in order to achieve this. It's kind of annoying but well worth it when the replacement fan is none other than the 110 CFM Silverstone FM121, in my case.
