Using an antec 300, switched out the 140mm tricool for a 140mm noctua a few months back.
Less vibrations all good. Then, after ages of ok performance, tonight I hear an 'evil' slapping/phutting sound right at the 140 fan. I shut down sharpish. I assume it is a loose cable and check, nothing...so being utterly sure there are no blocks to the fan, and seriously I am rather anal on cable management, I power up.
I am lucky my face wasn't at the wrong angle...
Because a blade of the 140 noctua came off at a rate of knots...no joke it was one of 'those' moments where I had my face far too close...
how do I sort an rma? Sorry to ask here but this is my first piece of faulty hardware, as I just realised I bought this as my first, and definitely last purchase from a competitor who takes brief images.
