Thermaltake Armor+ Side Fan is dead

[gabbriel]

Hello everyone. My pc case is a Thermaltake Armor+ with a side fan of 230mm. The fan is dead and i want to replace it and it seems that i cannot figure out the dimensions of the fan. Thermaltake claims the fan is 230x230mm but all i can messure is 200x200mm. My question is will a fan 200x200mm will fit properly or a 230x200 will do the job?

Any of these will work -

Yeah i will give it a shot, though i am still confused how to freaking measure the size of the fan.

Usually they're classified by size as measured from edge to edge across the diameter. Sometimes you get fans that have different outside dimensions, screw hole to screw hole dimensions, and actual fan size - the Noctua NF-A15 is a good example. When that happens, sometimes retailers screw up the dimensions that they list in the description.

From screw hole to screw hole it is 230mm but the diameter of the fan is 200mm. The Bitefenix that my retailer can provide me is 230x200 so i guess screw hole to screw hole is 230mm on Bitefenix and 200mm the actual fan size.
