Fan Replacement

[MrRiccoSuave]

I recently bought my first AIO liquid cooler, and so far I'm loving it. It's the Corsair H60. Well, I've decided I want to bling up my setup, but I want to be safe. I want to replace the stock fan that mounts to the radiator with another Corsair fan, but one that's RGB instead. I guess I just want to know if this is a safe thing to do since the stock fan is clearly chosen for the cooler, and my new one is not.

As long as it has enough static pressure it'll be fine. You'll often see fans are optimized for airflow or static pressure. Some newer fans, like the Corsair ML series, have great airflow and static pressure performance.

 

Just keep in mind RGB fans usually need dedicated controllers. It's not a unified solution at all. So make sure you have a motherboard or controller compatible with your new rgb fan.

Just make sure to get a static pressure fan and also what you going to controll RGB with? some suggested fans?

I replaced the stock fans of my Corsair 100i V2 with HD120 RGB and it works just fine. For RPM control, I use the commander Pro tho in which all my fans are connected.

If you are unsure about all the RGB stuff, be sure to check my guide in the signature below that shows you how all the proprietary stuff for each brand works!

Good luck!
