What are the odds this case fan is 92mm and not "90mm?"

This case is on my short list...both Enlight's site and Newegg list the front fan as "90mm." I know that 90mm fans don't exist...but I also know about proprietary funky BS.

Thoughts?

Wacky. I'd try some googling to see whether it's really 80 or 92, since yes it could be some proprietary loud cheap 90mm made just for them that you'll never find a replacement for.

You could also try emailing Enlight, you never know there's at least one chance in a million you'll get a prompt reply in intelligible English.

Even if it is truly a 90mm opening, a 92mm fan should fit with a minimum of elbow grease.

Thanks guys; I just don't want to have to wind up drilling new holes, you know?

I always assume that the fans that come w/any case are crap; I'd be ordering a brace of Panaflos along with this case...I want to be sure the 92mm will fit. Honestly, I'm 99% sure it's a 92mm opening.

The mistake is on Enlight's site and Newegg probably got the info right off there.

Trust me, 2mm is nothing to sweat about. You won't be drilling new holes.

Almost none of the so-called 60, 70, 80mm fans are exactly on the 10s as they are really built to english standards (inches) 80mm is really 3.125 (3 1/8)" = 79.375mm, 92mm is really 3.625 (3 5/8)" = 92.075mm, etc. It's just convenient to call them on the tens.
