So I need a new 140mm case fan for my Lian Li, suggestions?

Thread Starter 
I have a Lian Li PC-A20B that the rear 140mm slot fan is starting to "buzz" on, which is driving me insane. I called Lian Li and the fans are not covered under warranty. A replacement including shipment is $17.00. Thinking I may spend $17.00 to recreate the same problem, does anyone have a suggestion on a better fan than the stock Lian Li one? It will be controlled by a Thermaltake fan controller. Quiet, high CFM is preferred as it sits over a 5870 & a 260. I've used Scythe before but I'm not sold on any particular brand. If I had the money, it would all just be liquid cooled anyway. Thanks!

Here's a picture of what I have:




Also, I'm writing this in the middle of a tornado warning ... so yeah, that's how much I love you guys!

Here's some options...

I have 3 of these in my case...
NZXT 140mm

These cost a bit more but better quality...
Noiseblocker PK-2 140mm
Noiseblocker PK-3 140mm

And of course your budget 140mm...
Yate Loon D14SL-12 140mm

Any of these will provide similar to better CFM compared to the old Lian Li fan.

Good luck and stay safe

hey thats BS by Lian Li. The fans ARE covered by warranty. One of mine died and they sent me a free replacement. You should contact them again and hold firm about providing warranty service.

You shouldn't have to spend a dime getting this taken care of.

Noiseblockers are top notch. Of course you also can't go wrong with Noctua NF-P14 FLX .
