First one had issues with pump failing, the second one has faulty fans.
Can I just replace these fans? Would buy 3 x of these.
Can the same cable that links the 3 fans together deliver enough power for the artic p12's?
ARCTIC P12 PWM PST, 120mm PWM-laitetuuletin, musta - Jimms.fi
Please help i am losing my mind over this AIO and the freaking noise.
i've tried taking it off, cleaning it, re installing, playing with fitment. Nothing helps.

oh ok, why not? what am i missing? 

I am simply asking if it is possible to replace these fans and use the included cable to power those fans, since the p12's are more powerful will the daisychain cable provice enough power to all 3 x fans? I am looking to buy new fans for it or just returning it. this is the second aio that has failed now. now only fan thank god.

What's like the best performance argb fan 120mm? Something that pushes the heat out good and makes low noise but can go fast as f.

Sweet thanks.
Question: My case supports top 140mm fans. The aio is 360mm. What if I mount 3 x 140mm fans the same way as i would the 120mm's from/for the aio.

Wouldn't that work, right? And it would push more air and be less noisy? 🙂

use the size of fan meant to fit that radiator. Otherwise you’ll be losing static pressure between the seams.

360 means 120x 3    fitting 3x 140fans  (420) to that radiator would be hard

Not exactly; to use 3x140mm fans, you need a 420mm long rad. In theory, you could mount the fans on the outside of the case if the mounting points are accessible on that side and there's space. And then mount the rad on the inside,  but you'd want to make sure that any gaps are closed with rubber gaskets to prevent wind loss.

 

Unfortunately, mounting on top is worse than other positions. 

 

BTW, DC should replace the bad fan under warranty. 

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.
