question about mounting a Black Ice GT Stealth 280

[jcgeny]

i want to install a radiator at the top of a zalman gs1000 plus , i want to install inside of the case . i selected 2 "Slip Stream 120 mm Slim Case Fan" as fans i will insert under the top plastic black cover . my question is : will it be possible to use the screws and holes of the 2 fans 120 to attach the radiator that has a size of 2 x 140 or do i need to choose a 2 x120 radiator ?
to be as clear as possible my plan is : top cover black of case then fans , then the metal of the case and the radiator inside.

120mm fans doe not fit on a 140mm radiator...
you realy need to use matching fans

[jcgeny]

i was thinking it could be like with some 140 MM fans that can be installed in 120 holes fan
thank you

[dopestuff]

but then they won't fit on your radiator....

where are your from btw??

[michielh3]

You could use a fan adapter

But it's better to just buy 140mm fans

nope because then the fans would hit eachother... (because 140mm fans are larger then 120mm fans duh )

That will fit Dopestuff

140side's on the rad and the 120fans+adater mounted at the top. or upside down

[dopestuff]

if you are making you own fan holes it is possible otherwise not...

[aadje93]

it is possible with the well know fan adapters (a plastic piece that makes the hole bit smaller and you mount that on your 280 Rad, then you mount 2 120 fans on your adapters. but like most people say, its better to use 140mm fans)

[k.3nny]

exactly!

see:

[dopestuff]

here is my scetch about the situation and why it won't work



at the red circle the adaptors, would hit
so only if you make your own fan holes, or you go backwards (from 140mm fan holes to 120mm) it would work

Yeah that's wright, it depends what the topicstarter wanna do.

i also thought that, but just wanted to make my point

[aadje93]

hehe, then its still 140MM spacing for the adapters

you get space between the fans, its a 280 rad, not a 240 rad

with a 240 rad and 2x 140mm you get that problem

Your picture is not correct, it is a 280mm radiator with 120mm fans, this should work perfectly:
