Corsair 650D Compatibility

Does anyone know if the Noctua NF-A20 (200mm) fan will fit in the front fan spot on the Corsair 650D case? Getting mixed feed back on whether or not the depth of the fan will fit.

This is my preferred fan choice just want to double check!

The NF-A20 will mount in the front of the 650D, but it is too thick to fit between the case and the drive cages. I have both the 650D and NF-A20 fans. I moved the drive cages about a 1/2" towards the back of the case for the fans to fit. I believe there is also a mount in the bottom the case closer to the power supply if you wanted to only use one drive cage.

Noise from the NF-A20 is much better. I also cut out the metal grill directly in front of the fan, which helped airflow and noise as well.
