[SOLVED] Why do I not seem to be able to fit 200mm fans into my case?

[Deleted member 2808222]

Trying to install 2 Noctua NF-A20 FLX fans inside a NZXT H630 case at the front. Nzxt says the front supports 2 x 200mm fans but I can't seem to get them to fit them inside. Am I doing something wrong?
I do have a saw at home if that could be something to use.. My mind tells me to either remove/screw apart something from the case for the fans to be able to fit inside or otherwise install them on the outside, where the front panel would be sitting closely infront of the fans. might fit almost exactly or so but I'm thinking that it might be bad for the airflow or so which I do not want.

Would appreciate some help on getting these things installed the right way!

What it doesn't tell you is that those 200mm fans have to be exclusively NZXT brand.
You see, with their older cases that had 200mm options, NZXT didn't use the spacing standard, but their own - the 147 and 154mm spacing that you see in the manual - at the time.

Sad that there are no 200mm fans for sale here in Sweden from NZXT. I think the noctua fans I got might be able to fit at the top instead so will give that a try. so my question then is if you think two cooler master megaflow 200 which looks similar in size when looking at the NZXT 200mm fans would fit in the front for my case?

If you're talking about these.

FAN DIMENSIONS (L X W X H)200 x 200 x 30 mm.

No. They won't fit. It's the same size as the Noctua. 200 x 200 x 30 mm.

the nzxt fan FN 200mm is got the 200 x 200 x 30 mm size as well so this makes me slightly confused. In my opinion the cooler master fan looks more similar to the nzxt compared to the noctua one with a more square looking size

I see these nzxt 200mm fans seem to be unavailable at amazon and many other stores.

Someone is selling FZ-200 nzxt fans on a swedish “ebay” ish site so these should fit correct?

Yeah, NZXT discontinued 200mm a while ago, probably at the end of 2016 - not long after I bought a Phantom 820 in August of that year, I wanted to replace all the fans inside with their clear bladed ones.
The 120 and 140mms were easy, 200mm was a little harder to come by; some of their LED models were already sold out with no notice that they would be replenished anytime soon.
I know, because at the time I wanted all blue LED fans in that case, but found that the blue 200mms were sold out. I ended up settling for all red instead.

Those are just the dimensions of the fans(LWH), not the actual distance from the screw holes on the fans, as I said earlier, NZXT did differently from everyone else for a time.
