Question 1

how do i know what size i need?

Accepted Answer

There are two ways to check for size:

? Measure the diameter of the fan from the outside of the blades.  For example, the common rear fan size is 120mm.  That is the outside diameter of the blades.  It is NOT the distance between the screws.

? Look at the specifications for your case.  You can go to the Newegg site and search for your case.  Then look under the second tab (specification) where you will find the sizes of the fans that case accepts.  Be sure to look for the location you intend to use, as some cases will accept different sized fans at different locations.  Also, be aware that some cases will accept more than one size fan in the same location.  These have screw locations drilled for the different sizes that will fit.

Question 2

I have a Thermaltake Overseer RX-1...another reviewer stated that this fan was too wide for this case...does that include for the optional side fan...or were they refering to replacing the top or front fans it comes with? i have a Zalman closed loop cooler so i'm not worried about it hitting the cpu cooler.

Accepted Answer

I just now install this fan as front on my Corsair 600T case and
couldn't be more satisfied with its performance. It's is quiet and
move alot of air....what more could you ask.

Question 3

Does this fan have an option to turn off the LED's?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe it does - I don't remember seeing one when I installed it, because I don't need the light & would have turned it off.

Question 4

I have an Thermaltake Oversser RX-1 with a Thermaltake Nic C5 cpu cooler & was curious if this would fit in the side panel ?

Accepted Answer

Mine stopped working a week after I installed it.
