Hey all! After a very minor update to my gaming rig from '12 to keep it alive... im at the point where the fans are just starting to go i assume. My top exhaust fan (200mm) is making a crackling wobbling noise and i have to play games at loud volume to counteract (which is fine, but it hurts during uni studies) Im wondering if anyone has any experience with replacing the lvl 10 GT fans, with new stock fans from thermaltake or using other brands. The RGB LED trait of the fans is fun, and even though hardly used... id still in some way like to be able to use the console at the top of comps for fan speed and LED colour. I know the case has a different system to connect the case fans to the mobo, is that still viable using other brands? Im expecting yes, excluding the side door as it uses the microchip and key mechanism on the door hinge to avoid a long cable from fan in the door to mobo (which ive seen on builds removing stock fans, and it looks yuck) If anyone can recall their experience with fan replacement id really love to hear about it!
