So my h50s been clicking for around 7 months now I even put a thread on here and people said it was quite common so alright i thought...

just noticed today somehow the pull fan in the config has got jammed and snapt a blade and that was the clicking noise for all this time... doh!


Has anyone superglued a fan blade back on? OR what recommendations are there for CPU h50 fans now a days 120mm please?
 
Yeah, I've superglued fan blades on. I have the syrupy thick superglue with a spray activator. The hard part is getting the fan blade glued in the right position. It works most of the time... like 3 out of 4 times I've been successful. ;)

Worst case you have a fan with a crooked blade dead fan instead of a missing blade dead fan. :D
 
I assume they are the standard Corsair fans on that unit? If so I doubt they would be that great anyway. Gentle typhoons are meant to have great static pressure for pushing air through rads, but the lower 1100rpm ones are out of stock at the moment, and the 1500rpm ones may possibly be too loud without controlling them. If you want to replace them with something of similar performance then any branded fan around £5/6 will do the job.
 
I'd be happy to go to the typhoons - I do have a fan controller as well - I did just read that typhons are only good for pushing and not pulling? does that mean i should make a push pull config with another setup?
 
I use push pull GT-15's, highly recommend them. Depends what type of noise you can live with, I know someone running p/p ultra kaze sounds like a hair-dryer is on constantly.

When I used the corsair fan with a GT-14 my load temp was only 4'C more.
 
just replace the fan,if you superglue 9 times ot of ten it will be slightly out of kilter and vibrate like hell due to it not being balanced
