Can the scythe fuma use 140mm fans?

Hey everyone, just curious if anyone has tried using 140mm fans or not. Don’t wanna buy one and then see it fail for myself, unless I know for a fact the pins to hold it in place will actually work. Thanks for any feedback!

You would likely have to use 140mm fans that have the 120mm holes.
Like this one Case Fan: Noctua - NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fan ($21.51 @ Newegg)

Oh, I was thinking of getting two corsair ML140’s (the non rgb), but I’ve heard good things about the nf a15’s too.

Well, the standard 140mm probably won't work unless you had bigger clips.

With that though, buying 2 140mm fans + the FUMA doesn't really make sense. Here's why:

1) The FUMA is attractive because of a) low price and b) low height
2) Buying 2 140mm fans make it cost as much or more as a bigger cooler like the NH-D15
3) Adding 140mm fans increase the height of the FUMA to that of the NH-D15

So, the conclusion is if you want to use 140mm fans just buy the NH-D15. It's a better cooler.
