The outside frame of the fan.

This is a 92mm fan:

And here, a 120mm

THANK YOU!! Now I'm 99% sure my existing case fan is 92mm. But I have another query if you pwease, check this picture out! I unpluggeded my 4 pin fan cable thingy from the motherboard and I found that. Doesn't that 4 pin hub (the red one) look like it can't physically fit a 3 pin... Also can you explain what that white one next to it is?

 

[USAFRet]

Yes, the red one looks odd.
I do not know what the white one is.

What does the user manual say?

LOL I have ZERO user manual's on me. The pc was prebuilt so I guess they didn't include the manual :<

Is that a Dell motherboard? If so, that one header looks like a proprietary fan header, often used with cooling fan/shroud, heatsink configs.

No, it's HP. Also I don't know what you mean by cooling fan/shroud, heatsink configs... lol. But if you mean that that's a cpu cooler fan header, I can positively tell you it is not because there is one at the top of the motherboard with the label "CPU FAN" on it.

 

[I do not know 1 2 3]

Oh and btw that red one was already being used by the existing case fan! And the fan cable thing is physically completely compatible, it's like they're made for eachother.. UwU

HP can be just as proprietary as Dell.

That is not a standard 4 pin fan header.

I think I found out what that white one is! It's a 3 pin hub

But what does that mean?

But what does that mean?

It means that it is not a standard 4 pin fan header.
Whatever it does is proprietary to HP.

A regular 3 pin fan won't plug in.

But would any 4 pin fan plug in?

Doubtful.

Doubtful.

REEEEEEEE
