Hi,
I've had this particular unit for about 2 years now, and I had noticed that system temps had risen a few degrees higher than what I had normally seen in the past, I checked the airflow in the power supply-NO airflow.
Cracking it open and taking a quick peek, appears that the fan itself has physically seized up...dust buildup mostly, and a touch of pet hair.
I'd experienced no instability from this fan outage, surprisingly.
What might be a good aftermarket fan to swap with the bad one? I'd prefer something ballbearing, even if it is a touch louder than sleeve bearing--Reliability is what I'm looking for.
I know Panaflos are probably not a consideration, as they don't appear to distribute a 120x25mm fan at all. (not without heavy modification, anyway)
Thanks
Good 120mm fan replacement for Fortron 350W?
