Alright. Build long since finished

Now I'm looking at fan replacements. Specifically, front intake and rear exhaust

3 x 120/140mm setup

I need the best possible airflow (but quietly) I don't care about the price but cheaper is preferred

I have heard many good things about this fan from case fans to being stuck on heat-sinks.

I need true 140mm.

I don't want to have to do any case mods.

Then why did you say "120/140mm" in the topic? Which case do you have?

+1 For TY-140 fans. I'm not aware of anything better for the price.

I didn't mean it has to be 140mm. The fan listed was 140x152

If it's going to be 140, I need 140x140

I didn't imagine I'd need to clarify but whatever

120x120 is also fine.

26mm is the depth dimension and the diameter is 140mm. The TY-140 series uses 120mm fan mounts because the frame is not square. Depending on your case, it may not matter.

All case fans have a frame and the measurement takes that into account.

NZXT P630

I don't want to buy fans that will not fit. I lack the patience/means to mod or do returns

If you're sure it'll be fine, then that's okay.

It appears that all of the fan mounts have both 120 and 140mm holes, so the TY-140s will fit. I'm not sure what you expect to gain over the default fan setup, though. Even slow 200mm fans move a lot of air.

Thank you for your time.


I plan on relocating the front 200mm to the top of the case. Then the previous rear exhaust to some swivel fan mount on a HDD bay to focus on the GPU.

Whether or not this will do anything substantial for anything par the gpu is indeed questionable, but we'll see.

I'd put the three 200mm fans as intakes. One at the front, one at the side, and the top one on the front mount. This will create a lot of positive pressure in the case so air will be pushed out the back. You can also remove unused PCI slot covers to increase airflow by the card. The 140mm fan at the rear won't be of any use, really.

I don't really believe in using fans for exhaust. You don't necessarily need fans to push air out the back because the pressure does that for you.
