I want to upgrade my PC with new fans on both the processor and the side panel fan, but I do not know what fans would fit my computer, I also want to know if the Corsair Hydro Series H60 would fit my computer. I also use a LGA1150, or an i7-4790 processor. Currently I am using an 80mm fan on my processor here is a picture of my processor fan.

N764D is a Dell cooler that might work for your CPU. 92mm fan inside with 4 heatpipes.
Could you post a picture of the back of your case fan where the amperage is, and how many wires it has. Dell typically uses very powerful fans. up to 1.8A (usually 1.2-1.3A) that run at 30-40% PWM speed. If you disconnect the 4th blue wire the fan will run at 100% and you'll see what I mean. Dell often uses a proprietary 5 pin fan connector for 4 wire fans. Non standard pinouts are common on OEM computers also. Also measure the thickness fo the the fan and report if there is room for a thicker one. 25mm is normal, but Delll BTX used 37mm fans in the 1 fan BTX systems so an upgrade to that would probably work. It would be very easy to downgrade your...

It would be very easy to downgrade your fan if you put an aftermarket fan in there, or damage you motherboard if you go too powerful.
