Will not fit Cooler Master HAF 922 case

I bought this fan to replace a failed Cooler Master A20030-10CB fan that was installed on top of the Cooler Master HAF 922 case does not allow installation in this particular one Case using a 154mm hole spacing. I wasn't aware of this before I bought the fan. However, there's nothing a few marks and a quick dremel can't solve! Now that the fan is in the case I love it. Virtually silent and moves a lot of air. Huge improvement over the fan I removed even though it was 8 years old. Let's see how…

WOW, they draw a massive amount of air! Nice to look at too!

Bought these for a specific case mod where I needed to dissipate heat from a gaming PC that was mounted in a confined drawer under the ceiling. I installed two of them side by side on what used to be the front of the PC and I can tell you that there were no problems with these fans, they solved my cooling problems. At first I thought I needed some 120mm fans blowing INSIDE the case and these two fans blowing out of the case to provide the airflow needed to cool the 1070 TI and I7-3770 when…

Good quality for the size of the fan.

I buy a lot of Noctua fans to build high performance computers so I wanted to try them. On the plus side, they're silent and come with the requisite black sound/vibration pads. On the other hand, they move a little less air than I expected (maybe I'm just too used to the industrial line) and the price is too high. There are times when that would be great and I can say they are better quality than many similar sized fans. Buy these if you need a fan of this size, but note that a pair of Noctua…

Not ideal for Cougar MX 331

At first there were only seven black anti-vibration pads, luckily you only really need four. Second, the holes just aren't the same. for my case. I couldn't screw it in at all, I can mount one screw but that was it, the spacing is too big to fit the others so now I have to order all the caps long rubber mounts because the short rubber mounts I have totally are unusable because the inside dimensions sit in a channel so I can't put the pliers in to get them out. my case screwed up. What about…
