Well i've got a cooling fan going bad on my pc, i cant quite tell what size it is, and i havent bought fans before. Its a bigger fan,stationed on the back panel of the pc. Where the Eternet cords and such plug in.

Im shopping around on xoxide. What size fan would i need to replace the one thats going bad?

The rear fan would most likley be 120mm or 80mm

If you get a ruler and put it either from top to bottom, or left to right it will tell you the size :)

Be warned, cheapest arnt the best fans. They ussually provide poor airflow and are noisy!

Here's a link to 80mm Case Fans on Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010110573+1372726528&name=80mm

If its an 80mm, that will do fine.


Honestly, Im a Thermaltake kinda guy myself, but if you arent needing super performance, anything will do.

You can probably pick a fan up at RadioShack for all of $10.
