Well I brought this noctua 120mm fan around 3 months ago, finally came home to install it and use it on my desktop to find out the thing is too big. My return policy is up on it (cost $20) just wanted to know what case fan will fit on my desktop, I have an Asus cm6330 model tower. Someone made bad suggestion to buy this after I brought my msi graphics card. The card fits but not the case fan. My temps for cpu and motherboard hover around 100 Fahrenheit. Also wanted to know, would it be better to just buy a tower case that can fit the 120mm fan or just buy a case fan that fits my current case. I'm a noob with computers that follows online instructional videos. If it isn't too much of a hassle what should I go for? I talked to a friend and he said I should replace the original heatsink fan and put the 120mm noctua fan there, so it doesn't go to waste. Is this possible to do? and will I have to buy a new heatsink to do it?
 
I will get pictures up tomorrow 12:30 am by me and my roommate is complaining about lights. Hope to hear from you
