So I know someone is going to ask what type of fan and how I broke them so one of them is a NZXT Aer RGB fan and the other is NZXT Aer P.

 

I broke them by screwing other fans in while PC was on and screwdrivver slipping and this was days apart so you think I would learn my lesson but I didnt so what should I do with them the RGB one still lights up.

Asus Strix 1080ti

Pull the fan hubs off and just use them as RGB effects?

Get that copper out of them!

Instructions for frustration management:  

1) Sit at desk.   2) Repeatedly slam forehead against desk.

 

I never said I was smart, just smart enough to be dangerous.

 

 

ORLY?

There's no harm in contacting NZXT anyway and being honest with them. They're really good with replacements from my experience.
