Regd. Replacement fan for Corsair H110

cursed4eva · May 11, 2013

I broke a fan off my Corsair H110. I need to replace it, I have no idea what to look for, someone please help.

Thats in a nutshell... now the long version...

Things have been horrible, I got the idea that I had to build an awesome pc and set about reading up and got the following config done...

Cosmos Coolermaster
i7 3930k
ASUS RIVE
64GB Corsair Vengeance (I know its overkill but my jobs 24/7 adobe work)
Radeon 7950 (A mistake I know, should have gone with Nvidea for Cuda support... realized too late)
2x 256gb Samsung 830s in raid for work and os

I went with XSPC RS240 for cooling
Used distilled water with a kill coil (had to order everything from the US since am from India and I couldnt even find a coil here)
I guess the distilled water I used wasnt good enough, 6 months later I started hearing a lot of noise... again imported means no warranty... tried switching water didnt work out... this time went to frozencpu and built my own setup, customs charges + shipping it all came up to $800 and while installing i messed up with a grommet and had water into the pump and presto... down the drain.
I am not a careless person... I am very very careful... Ive made 100s of android tutorials on youtube watched by a lot of ppl (I know they are different things all together but just saying, in general I am a careful person)
Now I realized I was in over my head and decided to order a H110
Now the fan was a little bent when delivered, tried to install it and a fin broke... now am using a smaller fan from the xspc cooler and the stock H110 fan for my setup... i shut it down as much as possible, I turned off turbo... whenever my video processes the fan starts rattling since its basically on one screw (I cant find a LGA2011 aircooler here as well) again since imported, no warranty

I am desperate, someone please help!

The Radeon HD 7950 has a really good OpenCL engine. More modern software are supporting OpenCL and I think that in the future, OpenCL is the way to go. NVIDIA has been dropping support for CUDA and more of their modern cards will have issues keeping up with AMD's OpenCL engine in the same task. But due to legacy support, NVIDIA holds the edge.

A Scythe Slip Stream 140mm will do well for you.

Thanks a lot for the answer, I am grateful

Now am pushing my luck here, any sites that ship internationally?

ksham · May 11, 2013

There's no vendors that sell computer case fans in India? There must be. I only know of flipkart. Any other sources? I can look up some fans for you.

flipkart ebay junglee the only 3 options that I know off

I found this Scythe Slip Stream 140mm. Looks really expensive.

I found a few BitFenix Spectre Pro 140mm at flipkart.

the bitfenix says its a cabinet fan is that ok?

ksham · May 12, 2013

Fancy word for saying it's a case fan. >_>

ksham :

So can we use a case fan with the corsair h110, for the rad?

Yes. You can use any 140mm fan. As long as it fits. But of course, there are fans better suited for the job. For example: for a radiator fan, you want fans with better static pressure or restricted FPM.

ksham :

in that case I have case fans already, the ones that came with the coolermaster cosmos 2 or the ones from my build before... I was under that impression that we needed separate rad fans.... u couldnt find any rad fans on any of the sites I gave could you?

ksham · May 12, 2013

The two that I listed are great for radiators. The radiator supports any 140mm fan, but not all fans are good for radiators. For radiators, you want fans with good static pressure.

ksham :

What is this FPM that's suddenly showed up?
Googling it comes up with "Feet Per Minute" which as far as I can tell doesn't really apply to fans, as it would describe a speed or velocity (actually thats what it might be...). I know CFM, "Cubic Feet Per Minute" as a unit of volume, how much air is moved.

And to contribute to the topic.
The two fans Ksham found are pretty good for radiator usage. They both have a decent Static Pressure, which can be described as how hard the air is being pushed, which helps if there is an obstruction to airflow such as a heatsink or radiator. Your case fans are likely tuned to CFM, which is purely how much air is moved per minute, which is great when there's no restriction to airflow.

ksham · May 12, 2013

@manofchalk: That is correct. It stands for "Feet per Minute". It measures how far the fan can push the air. Just because a fan moves a lot of air (CFM), it doesn't mean that it's good at directing it in a straight path. Most fans have a giant dead air space where you really want the air to be.
