Hi, the fan clipped to my Super Quiet Titan DragonFly Heatpipe Intel CPU Cooler has started making a rubbing/grinding bearing noise at all but the lowest speed. I contacted the manufacturer who said they don't have UK stock or distributor, and to look for suitable replacement, I tried but got a bit lost with all the details. This is the spec/model of the current fan https://www.titan-cd.com/en/product/TFD-9515M12ZP_KE_RB.html many thanks for any advice on what a suitable replacement would be. The PC is mostly used for music production so the main thing is low noise. Cheers!

I'd recommend a noctua fan, they are widely regarded as the quietest.
The fan you're replacing looks to be a slim 92mm fan.
This would be the noctua equivalent: https://noctua.at/en/nf-a9x14-pwm
There are some important considerations:
- I don't think the fan you're replacing has PMW (4 wires instead of 3), this fan does have PWM. If your motherboard header that you use for the CPU fan supports PWM this is an advantage. Otherwise it will still work anyway with a 3-pin header.
- The fan you're replacing looks like it has a cutdown frame. I doubt this is an issue, but check clearances before purchasing
