Sorry to Hijack.. are the corsairs ml120 good for the heat sink? Or still too noisy like the sp120?

this works with the clip to mount the fan??
it's 140mm fan with the mounting holes identical to 120mm fans ....

even if blocked by the bigger fan , can easily cable tie or twist tie


imo not wise to spend too much on fans ...... because might as well spend it on higher performing parts which the benefit surpass overlocking the cpu to the last 1 or 2 multiplier that bring 2-4% benefit only

is the casing only support 160mm cpu cooler?
if 212 already 160mm tall then the 140mm fan will need to shift down, its bottom holes will be below cooler fins - can cable tie secure bottom half or no need...?

Doesn't hurt to secure since cable tie how much only.

I think that must have been the reason why smrt chose the cable tie option.

can mount on the coolermaster plastic clips ... but the outer 1cm of the fan get block by the clips

many 140mm round frame fans are designed with same holes for 120mm fans
it's the 140mm square frame fans that doesn't fit

the coolermaster plastic clip also not on the edge I think ... shift down 1-2 cm still can "grip" the heatsink
