Trying to decide what fan to get since these replacements i got are of poor quality... Very untrustworthy seller. so i'm not buying anything from that seller anymore..
Its the next day. Fan still chugging along but slowly and poorly like expected.. Almost no airflow. At twice its rated voltage i doubt its even at 4,000RPM range yet.
the magnet on it seems too weak and bulky/heavy. And the metalic strips that go with the coils are about half the height they should be... Needs an extra 1 link in the chain.
Very thin wires too. Perhaps too thin. and the magnetic field on the magnets is also probably out of wack. With very little strength the fan does not snap to any particular position when not running.. And it stays wherever it stops at.
My 120mm case fan moves exceedingly freely and stops at a magnetic field point. instead of just slowing to a stop.
40mm replacement fan not spinning very freely and makes a bit of a plasticy scratchy sound when you spin it with your fingers slowly. or as it comes to a stop or spins slowly
A 9,000RPM fan gives me lots of room to find the right balance of speed noise and cooling i think..
Do you think i should go for it?
