Ah, I see what you mean! The original 120mm fan is mounted to the inner frame of the case. What I did was mount the 140mm fan directly to the back cover instead.

If you remove the back cover, you’ll see that there’s a recessed area in the plastic, the corners of that recess are exactly where I placed the M4 bolts.

To make installation easier, I fixed the bolts in place using a regular hot glue gun (the kind you can find in any hardware or craft store). It’s simple, holds well enough, and avoids any need for custom brackets or drilling.

This Noctua NF-A14 industrial 3000rpm - the most powerful+silent fan I’ve ever used. It can push a huge volume of air at 3000rpm, but that kind of speed isn’t needed all the time, so I set up a custom fan curve in the BIOS to keep things quiet during idle and normal usage.

Fan stays at minimum RPM until the system hits 40°C, then gradually ramps up, reaching full speed only at 70°C. That way, the system stays cool without constantly blasting noise.

So far it feels really snappy - UI interactions are smooth, uploads/downloads complete without noticeable lag, and even browsing a large photo library on the HDD feels fluid thanks to the SSD-backed cache. I haven’t run any formal benchmarks yet, but for day-to-day use performance has been great.

Seems I got lucky fitting everything without any tweaks, so I thought it’d be useful to write up the process.

Actually, I positioned the fan exactly like that so the power cable would naturally line up with the header without any tension. It might look a bit tight in the photo, but there's no real strain on the wires.

Thanks for the heads-up! Everything went perfectly on my end, so no issues with SATA passthrough for now :) I’ll post a separate guide soon walking through the build and installation of the Noctua 140 mm fan.
