Hi everyone,

 

My rear case fan sometimes doesn't properly startup sometimes. Which fan should i buy to replace it? I don't wanna buy something worthless for 3$ and also don't really want to spend 25$ on a single fan. (Btw, it has to support PWM and be 120mm)

 

Thank you for any suggestion

Noctua's black 120mm PWM fans are only $14.99 on Amazon.

I'm using the Aero Cool case. Unknown but has a mount for the double radiator, dust filters, side window, and just serves me really well. I'll probably buy on Amazon and looking between 8$ and 15$

What country are you shopping from?

If you're not sure what case you have, please post a photo of the rear fan mount mesh.

The case is Aerocool 1000. I'm from the US

The rear mesh is fairly open so a NF-S12B would work well: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bKFPxr/noctua-case-fan-nfs12bredux1200pwm

Redux fans are gray. If you're referring to black fans, they're probably Chromax fans but they're usually 20-25 USD.
