Is it possibly to mount a 140mm fan on this? Just curious.

Mount? No, not without modifying the cooler. Set it up top? Probably fine. Not sure if it would make any difference. I'll order a 140mm fan and place it on top to see if it helps temps.

It's not designed for it, although I'm sure with a 3d printer and extensive MacGuyver skills you could make it work.

YES just might want to mount it on top where the BIG red fan is. IE take the fan off.

You will have to mount onto something but mounting brackets are very flexible. this is a great fan, still going strong after a couple years of hard use and love the thermostat option.

I do not think this is what you are looking for. This could cause heat issues and would be an awfull mess to remove if it is not what you wanted. Buying high quality 120mm+ fans is a better option.

I doubt that would be a good install method because this fan is made to mount in the upright position. It slides down over the mounting bracket and if it were upside down, gravity and vibration would cause it to fall.

Either will work. The top has mounting holes for both 120mm and 200mm. Honestly, though, I'd recommend the 200mm fan. The bigger the fan, the more air it moves, AND the quieter it is.

yes-but I would contact corsair to see for sure because you might not be able to use a top mount fan.

Hi, I wouldn't do it with the one screw hole. I mounted on a wall and wanted it face down so I used an L bracket upside down with 2 mounting holes and wall anchors and it was just fine. I would probably recommend a bracket for you too. The fan itself runs very smoothly so there isn't a lot of lateral movement generated, but I error on the side of extra safe. If you do go with one screw, make sure you attach the safety cord that comes with it.

The top of the casing is wide enough to accommodate a 140 mm fan. Do note that if you are using a big CPU cooler, you may have difficulty putting in fans on top as the vertical clearance is quite small. I would prefer to skip fans on top and instead invest in a good 120 mm fan for the rear.

There is no bracket to attach this fan to a wall. You may be able to build a small shelf and sit the fan on the shelf.

I'm pretty sure you can put a fan in the front case - just know that it will involve some deconstruction and could get tricky. The case will easily support your typical 120mm fans up top. Too many fans will cause noise though; try to limit your case fans to under 3 if possible. Three fans would be my limit. IMO the passive fan noise outweighs the benefits, this case stays cool just from its copious ventiliation.

No it can not. But, if you cut down the extension rod to the minimum length it will actually hang down less than a traditional looking flush mounted fan. What I did is a little bit of trial and error, trimming down the rod a bit at a time until i had it as short as possible. What limits you is the upper "cone" must go on first and then you must hook the fan to the ceiling bracket prior to securing the upper cone. A little tricky to try to explain, but I think I got the rod down to 2.5" or so in length.

I have this and would not use it like that, would trust the 140mm mounting but not the 120mm on the plastic alone. Instead get a single 120mm fan shroud at least 1" thick and use the 120mm fan. This will eliminate any flat spots (center and outer) in cooling on the radiator. There are plenty of high quality 120mm fans.

The back of the case is open, but I don't see how you would mount fans there. The top of the case swings back, which makes me think mounting anything in that open area would be difficult. There are several open card bays on mine, and I think I have the biggest MB made. You could definitely mount a fan card or two there. I'm running a pretty tweaked system and haven't had any overheating issues.

Yup, it should work fine. So long as it is the same size, should be 120mm. Might double check though. If you check out the picture, you can put any fan on there so long as it's the same size. It just holds on with the little metal brackets.

Yes, it will line up with the 140mm fans' screw holes, unless your fans have a 120mm mounting pattern like Prolimatech Ultra Sleek Vortex 140mm x 15mm PMW Fan (120mm Mounting Pattern) . If it doesn't have the 120mm mount pattern, this filter should lineup properly.

As everyone pretty much has said, no. And I wouldn't even consider the downgrade to the Corsair fans over the Noctua unless you just want to throw money away for poorer performing and noisier fans. But, in the end, the fan mount system of that cooler will just prevent you from moving down to a 120mm fan from the 140/150mm fans that the wire mount system utilizes.
