Topic: Accidently broke a blade off my front case fan Posted: 20 May 2016 at 12:41pm |
Stupidly, I didn't align the tabs for the front dust grill properly and it caught on a fan blade and broke it off. The fan is still running fine, for now.
Gonna try to replace it pretty soon though. Just wondering if there's a certain size i need to get with this particular case, or are they all universal? I've got the Vanquish Level 4 (Original Vanquish), with the cosair case, not sure which case this is or I would research this on my own. A little help here? Also, is it too difficult to replace? I assume i just unscrew the thing, unplug the cable, and mount the new one back in there, and screw it back on. Thanks. (And yes, I feel like a dolt right now.) |

I think the original Vanquish was the Corsair 300 R and came with a single 140 mm fan. You can use any 140 mm. Don't think is was an LED fan, but you would know.
Hope this helps. |

Ahh yes, that is the one. So you mean the front fan is 140 mm? Cause it has a rear fan as well. |

I'm pretty sure the front is a 140 mm and the rear a 120mm. The front can be built with 2 fans, both can be 120mm or 140mm.

Yep, i just checked the Corsair site. It's 140 mm. This might be a good time to get a replacement with red leds, could look cool with that case. |

I agree. Front led fan would spice it up. Or, 2 led fans.
