    I just got some black and white fans for my HAF "X" case the 200mm ones from NZXT but they do not fit where the old coolermaster fans fitted.

    I can drill holes and so forth which is not a problem but has anyone found this to be a problem when getting NZXT fans

    I don't think there's a real standard for the 200 mm fans, they seem to come in all sorts of shapes with the mounting holes being all over the place. Dunno about the NZXT's specifically, but this is the feeling I have after reviewing plenty of cases with 200 mm fans...

    I think the HAF uses 220mm fans...

    I had a similar problem, mounting for 200mm fans seem to be up to the manufacturer.

    NZXT 200MM fans are actually 192MM, with mounting holes to suit (Rage.)

    Go for some BitFenix fans or others, they're just as good, and they're actual 200MM fans.

    Good find and thanks. The reason i went for these is the colour and cannot trust myself painting fans.
