Hey everyone! I recently bought some budget coolers from AliExpress for my dual LGA 1356 PC build, and I'm a bit puzzled about changing the CPU fans to PWM ones. The seller's listing states the fans are 90x90x25, but I can't seem to find any fans with those exact dimensions from brands like Noctua, Be Quiet!, or Arctic. All I'm finding are 92x92x25 fans. I'm starting to think the seller might have made a typo, or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. I've never bought PC fans before, so I'm not quite sure what to do.

It's definitely a good idea to invest in reliable brands. While buying from AliExpress might save some cash, you can never be too sure about the quality. As for the fan size, it’s possible they measured the fan diameter, while reputable brands might measure the outer casing. It's also likely that those fans weren't really intended for use as case fans.
So, should I go ahead and buy the 92x92x25 fans, just hoping they'll fit?
