I think that the force required to break a GT's strut (even the weakest one) would be enough to also cause very noticeable damage to the bearing. Since "ball bearings are quite weak [and] cannot bear any external impact" (Source), dropping the fan "could result in abnormal noise (Brinell dent) of ball bearings during operation."(Source). So I'll be checking my fans for any abnormal noise within the next few days.

Here are the results of the test I mentioned I would do a week ago.

 

Edit: Fan was placed vertically (like this) on a wood table for the noise tests. Vibration noise will be different when mounted.

Generalizations are for this test only and may not apply to other situations.

 

Fan were numbered like so: (Click to show)

Posted this in the other thread... then realized it was here you guys were talking about the brown stuff.

Some people have been complaining about 'brown stuff' on the inside of their fans.
I found this at scythe-usa's site:
core.jpg

The brown stuff is what they use to balance the fan blades so they don't wobble/vibrate etc...

In other words... Don't remove it. It's actually there for a reason!

I realize the pic is of an older version of the gentle typhoon, but since these are hand balanced fans, the method they use to balance them is probably the same.

Maybe they moved the location to inside, instead of just being exposed on the outside...

^ Yep, I mentioned that before as well, but I don't remember which thread it was. I saw that just about all 8 of my fans had it during the time I took them apart and painted the blades white.

Alright, I still haven't gotten my fans and to be honnest, I'm getting kinda mad. I did everything they said, I paid the fans when I had to, I paid for shipping when I had to and everything. I also sent the 1 cent payment for the international labels, but the payment wasn't taken. I ordered 6 completes and could really use them right now as the CM fans I'm using right now are dying on me. Please, could anybody tell me what I did wrong (since the problem probably comes from me)? Would be greatly appreciated.

Have you contacted FTW PC about this yet?

 

There was a delay from them as the owner was injured and could not work for a while. If you're having troubles contacting them or any other issues, let me know and I'll try to help.

No I havent, because everytime I tried to contact them (2 or 3 times), I never got a response so I just gave up.

You may have been trying to contact them while the owner was injured and that could have been the issue but I'll try and help you get this sorted.
