90mm vs 92mm?

Greetings,

Will a 92mm fan fit in a 90mm bracket? I'm having to replace a couple 90's and the fans I want are 92...?

Thanks
Lee

It would have to be 90mm for it to fit perfectly, unless you drilled new holes somehow... but that would still be too close to the current holes probably.

I don't think that 2mm will make a difference...are we talking about a case or a heatsink?

Standard fan size is 92mm but some places identify them as 90mm. I'm sure a 92mm fan will fit that bracket.
