SK140 BLACK DRGB PWM FAN - 140MM 3 pack. Less than 6 months old. 1 of them just died completely except the leds. The 2nd has a noisy bearing. Overall from google seems these fans have a terrible rep for being generally crap. So far Phanteks support not interested. Considering I have 3 of the high end Phanteks cases in the house it's left a bit of a sour taste.

Can someone recommend a 3 pack or individual fans to replace these on my p500a that are the same airflow to noise or better. Don't want to spend a fortune and not bothered about RGB. Say budget of around £40 sound reasonable?
 
Phanteks appear to be happy to ruin their previous reputation for good support, disappointing and same as you I have spent a fair amount on Phanteks gear!
 
Thanks for the suggestions all. Going to take a look at the arctics as have used them in the past. It's a shame about Phanteks as like others I had amazing experience with them a few years ago with an enthoo pro but now they seem like they are trading on past reputations.

Might help to contact Phanteks USA customer support. They have helped me a couple of time when when international dropped the ball.
