Compare it to the power supply fan...

If it's the same, that's likely 80mm if it's bigger, that's likely 120mm

I would also ask the question "Do I really need a fan" ! An awful lot
of the time you do but not necessarally at the rear of the case. The
PSU fan is very good at extracting heat from the top of the case. Its
the hot spots that you should target with an additional fan !

Try to find a ball bearing fan as opposed to a sleeve bearing. These
will run quiet for longer. Nidec makes good fans.
