Most popular size is usually 120mm in modern PC cases, however, you will find other sizes such as 80mm, 92mm, 140mm, 200mm and various other configurations.
Are bigger PC fans better?
Big or little: Generally bigger fans can move the same amount of air as smaller fans at lower revolutions per minute. Since the tiny electric motors in the fan mechanism doesn't need to spin so fast, bigger case fans are quieter than smaller ones—and thus more desirable, if your case supports them.
