Help w/ fan replacement

DaBethum

Story time:

A stink bug got into my fan, which not only smells as great as you'd think but also upgraded my fan with a jet engine volume upgrade any time the machine is under load.

 

Help time:

So I don't really know what I'm looking at.  The fan seems to have some sort of heat sync for the water cooled processor.  I haven't built a machine in awhile and I'm not sure what it is I'm looking at here, or what if anything special I need here. 

 

Any information I can provide I'm happy to.  If possible, I'd prefer amazon links (since they donate to MS society when I make purchases).

 

The 2nd image is the side of my case, I'd like to add an additional 2ndary fan there to help with some woosh.  I'm figuring that can be a fairly generic smaller fan.  120mm appears to be the correct size for that.

 

I'm also thinking for best airflow I'd want them both pointing out.

 

Appreciate any help, thank you kindly.

That is the fan for your All in one cooler, you'd want a static pressure fan for the replacement. I would recommend Akasa Piranha or Viper fans, if you can afford them also Noctua NF-F12, there's also some corsair ones I can't remember the name of, which country are you from as I wouldn't want to give you the wrong links.

 

For the side panel, air flow is more important, Noctua NF-S12A or their redux line. Corsair air flow fans or ML series. I'm forgetting alot of companies so hopefully other chime in.

In that case as you prefer Amazon, I'll redact my recommendation of Akasa, for whatever reason they are just as pricy as Noctua's and only sold my third party sellers (which is very much not the same here in the UK)

 

Anyway, here's a Noctua NF-F12 for your AIO cooler, if you don't like the colour then maybe Corsair's SP 120.

 

For the case fan you can go with a Noctua NF-S12A FLX or cheaper Noctua Redux NF-S12B, there's also Corsair's AF 120. If you want cheaper then most Antec, Silverstone or CoolerMaster fans will probably do.

 

I personally have only used Akasa, Antec, Arctic, Corsair and Scythe fans myself. The other recommendations are based on reviews I've seen before so they should be good fans if they are in your budget, sorry I couldn't be more useful but the prices are all over the place on Amazon for America, over here in the UK for example Akasa are a lot cheaper then Noctua and Corsair fans can be more affordable depending on website. Antec and Arctic can be rather cheap but with Antec you'll have to set speeds yourself on the good ones which can be a pain depending where they are and Arctic specialise in affordable quiet fans.

Side fan is only good if you have blower style GPU. Otherwise I don't see any purpose of using it. More so if its only 92mm.
