Replacement Fan for H115i

[CookieMaster]

So i was checking out one of my fans because it was making a strange noise, ended up just re plugging back in and it fixed it. When i was putting the cover back on my case i accidentally hit one of the cooler fans on the h115i and it chipped 1 fan blade on it. Is there any good replacements out there? Is it even worth replacing? The fans works fine.

Update: another blade just broke and now its vibrating need to replace

Dude, just go on Amazon and look for some fans.  Phanteks fans are nice, and so are Thermaltake.  Just buy whatever ones you like.

I replaced my H110 GTi's fans with corsairs ML140s, this didn't have much of an impact on cooling, but the fan speed in corsair link went from 1100 for the out the box fans to around 400 for the quiet profile for the same temps, also dead silent at those speeds

Did you hook the fans up the the cooler so it could be controlled by the software along with the pump speed?

yep, one of the barings got very loud so bought a 2 pack, replaced and wired in the same way, then corsair link auto detected ( if thats a thing with fans ) and off it went, messed with the fan curves a little as it was on an overclocked 8350 so there was a lot of heat, no issues since

Just get some PWM 140mm fans (unless you control the fans via your motherboard's headers then just go with whatever).

 

Just for the love of god don't get normal 3-pin fans and plug them in, because (at least on mine) it just made them go full blast all the time.

I forgot 3 pins still exist tbh.

Alright i'll probably do that, going to check if i can find a replacement fan first though

corsair do sell those fans on their site, but for the price you can get much nicer fans, I'm a bit of a corsair fan, ignore the pun please, so I stuck with them and while I was picking up a keyboard the ML 2 pack was on offer, bare in mind the fans it came with are cheap versions of there normal fans, no the best for performance

I mean they do have their uses (like being able to turn completely off unlike a lot of PWM fans in my experience and compatibility with older machines), but yeah PWM is pretty dank.
