Hey Folks, I'm a very happy user of the Thermaltake Armor+ Case, but some time ago the big side-fan broke and now I want to buy a new one, the only problem I have is... Which Size is it? The Thermaltake Homepage ( http://de.thermaltake.eu/product_info.aspx?PARENT_CID=C_00000090&id=C_00000091&name=Armor+&ovid= ) says: 230x230x20mm but my measuring says exactly 220mm from bolt(middle) to bolt (middle)... So has anyboy modded/changed this fan already? Which one will fit?? I would be really thankful for answers Tungil
Fans are not measured from hole to hole. They are measured from edge to edge. I.e. a 120mm fan is 120mm from one edge to the other. You can get 230mm BitFenix fans at Scan.co.uk, such as THIS
That's Strange cause of course from hole to hole is longer than from side to side, which is in my case almost exact 200mm ?!! But why does the Thermaltke-site say 230,,?! I mean it's difference of 3cm!? But thanks for the hint, now I'll buy a 200mm fan^^
but they obviously did, as this product page: http://www.caseking.de/shop/catalog...-2004-Blackline-LED-Luefter-200mm::14207.html says the exact mm i measured: Lochabstand (waagerecht / diagonal): 154 / 218 mm which means: from hole to hole ( horizontally / diagonal ): 154 /218 mm That's exactly what I measured! . . .
Yes, from hole to hole, BUT when you buy the fan, the dimensions will be 230mm x 230mm. Take a 120mm fan for example. From hole to hole its 105mm, but edge to edge its 120mm. You don't buy a 105mm fan. You buy a 120mm.
you know that what you say does not make sense at all? You know that Pythagoras' theorem is: a²+b²=c² so if the sides are 105mm from hole to hole ( I always talk about the diagonal-hole-to-hole) is bigger than 105mm? And when I take your word , I have to buy a 200mm-fan, cause from side to side it's 200mm as I mentioned in post #2 But thanks for helping and the hint to measure the side, not the hole-2-hole thingy^^ edit: aaaa^^ not I see what you ment! You ment from hole to hole on one side! I always talked about from hole to hole in diagonal^^ But now as the above mentioned fan has the exact same measurements as i measured at the Armor+-fan (154 / 218 mm) I'll buy this one, even if it's a 200mm fan, not a 230mm...
The one he listed is a 230mm fan but it fits a 200mm mounting. Most fans have a square frame. This (and some others including the one you have) have mounting holes in the same place as a 200mm fan but the blades protrude slightly between them allowing a bigger fan in a smaller mounting. Looks similar to Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man
the one i listed? http://www.caseking.de/shop/catalog...-2004-Blackline-LED-Luefter-200mm::14207.html but the product page says it was a 200mm fan? is from top to bottom ( in between the 2 holes ) , it's 200mm? But now I get your point with the Da Vinci's man^^ I didn't thought about that! Thanks ^^
is the case less than 12 mths old? i had a front case fan go on mine, i tought to give ebuyer a try, and now they are sending me out a replacement fan. Ace customer service
This. Mate of mine had a bad mobo from them and had a replacement within 3 days. Can't knock that. Worth a try.
Yeah, of course, but it's just slightly over 2 years old, so i don't have any warranty left... Otherwise I would have tried to contact TT ... But I'll buy the 200mm fan next week and will report if it fits^^ edit: So today my fan arrived, in the end i bought: http://www.caseking.de/shop/catalog...r-Master-200mm-MEGA-Flow-FAN-Blue::12858.html and it fitted perfect! I used the bigger drill-holes, i'm not shure if a 230mm fan would have fitted, but this one is exactly the same size as the original Thermaltake-fan! I thinks it's louder than the old one ( I can't compare it anymore^^ ) and it's definately thicker, it's 1 or 2mm away from my thermalright ifx-14, but it fits and does not have contact. And i think the airflow could be even bigger, 700turns per minute is not that much...^^
