I know 92 <> 90, but I noticed a lot of places selling 92mm fans and then having 90 listed in the specs and then I will se 90mm fans with 92 listed in the specs. I have a thermaltake tsunami case and I want to replace the side window fan with a stronger one but don't know whether to get a 92mm or 90mm or does it matter? I need the screw holes to line up with the screw holes in the side of the case.

Im not sure, but I think the mounting holes are the same on both. The 92s case is a bit longer width and lenght wise, but the holes are in the same place as the 90.

I do remeber putting a 90 in to replace a 92 and it lined up. But dont bet your life on this as it may not be the norm.
