I have had my Enthoo pro for just over two weeks now. It's a great case and there is nothing I would change. However, I was being a Muppet and well... I broke the 200mm intake fan on the case. One blade has broken off. I have two options, 1 fix the fan. Will superglue hold the blade in place while it spins? Or two, purchase a new fan(s)
If I do have to go with option two, is it better to go with two 140mm fans such as the AF 140's or buy another 200mm fan such as the BitFenix 200mm Spectre PRO or the NZXT FN-200RB as I can't seem to find the standard fan for sale, the Phanteks PH-F200SP.
 
I would definitely buy a new fan to be honest.. they aren't exactly dear and just think if the blade would pop off mid-spin :eek:

As for whether to get 2x140 or 1x200, are you going to w/c in future? If so I'd get the 140s as the rad selection is somewhat better. 2x140 should push more air also.
 
I am thinking of watercooling in the future, but not for a good year or two because it's not really worth going fully custom on an FX-6300 and a 270X haha. I suppose the two 140's would also be a bit quieter as well which would be nice.
As for 140's, would AF or SP be better?
 
The 200 would be quieter because it will run at a lower RPM, but two 140s would deliver more performance. Does the case/do you have a fan controller?

If you're going for Corsair fans then SP (static pressure) are for rads, AFs would be preferable if not going for a W/C set up anytime soon.
 
I do not have a fan controller :(
I think the two 140's would be better but i'm not entirely sure. I have emailed Phanteks if there are any of the stock fans available and I am waiting on a reply.
 
I have super-glued fan blades on and never had a problem. Couple of times I got them on crooked .. which doesn't work too well, but being careful it works just fine. Not like you have anything to loose. ;)
 
That's reassuring news. I am going to try to super-glue the blade back on after I get back from work, or get my old man to do it while I'm at work so it is ready when get back. ;)

you don't really need one if you are connecting your fans to your motherboard you can install some software to control the fan if you need to.
