Venomus X for my 4670k

[Inviz01]

I installed the Venomus X on the 4670k and went through the instructions for mounting the heatsink on motherboard only to find out I need a fan for it.

I have used the search function and people recommend using a 120mm fan for it but the instruction manual says 140mm fan so I'm a bit confused.

Any help and recommendations would be appreciated.

It says ThermalRight Venomus X Rev.A on the box.

this is the size of the heat sink:

Length 127mm x Width 63mm x Height 160mm

So which Fan should I buy then? 140 mm?

 

[siddharthmukul007]

you can go with this or buy any 120mm.

140will be too big.

how are you going to fit in a 140mm fan in a 120 heat sink???

you can of course do a little bit of tinkering and modification and be able to fit a 140.

didn't you get a fan with the cooler itself????

It says use 140 mm/14 cm Fan in the manual. On step 3 it says to mount the clips and maintain the height of fan within 165mm. I visited their website for online manuals to show it to you guys but there isn't any with my model number, both of the X models have 120mm where my manual says 140mm.
Really confused here.

I mailed the manufacturer he confirmed it uses 140mm fan.
Here is the manual for it: http://uppit.com/wudy6kqfk9by/110119VX-14cm-installation.pdf
Any 140mm fan suggestions?
