Hello,
basically I wanted to replace the fans from my liquid cooling by some other fans of the same size, because I found better ones. But I would like to know if it's actually possible to do so.
The Liquid cooling has 3 fans I want to replace.
Oh and also, my motherboard got 5 connections for fans, so does the liquid cooling use only 1 of those 5 or does it use another specific plug reserved for CPU liquidcooling?

Thanks for answering my noob questions.

Don't know which cooler you have but they all (that I have seen) have replaceable fans held by screws, brackets or rubber screw replacements. New fans you would connect same way old ones were. Most of the time they are connected to CPU_FAN header on the MB. 4pin, PWR fans are preferred because of better speed control. Also make sure that your new fans are optimized for pressure, not flow.

I got the Genome Deepcool Case and basically it has an integrated liquid cooling to the case.
There's 3 white fans on the Liquid cooling and 1 black fan separately.
I want to remove the black one and replace it by the white one, and I want to replace the 3 fans by my own fans.

Same story just don't go replacing with wrong kind, Radiator fans are optimized for higher static pressure and case fans for higher flow although that radiator fan would do to.
Fans should be of same size and preferably same number of pins, 4 pin would be better.

Are you replacing the fans because of noise or lack of cooling?

You need to look at CFM levels, RPM levels and db levels of the old fans and compare them to the new ones. For example, a set of fans may have lower noise but if they spin at a lower rpm and move less air compared to your current fans then you are going to have higher temperatures.

So do you think it's okay if I replace the Radiator fans by the HD120 RGB Corsair ones ?
Are they optimized for higher static pressure as well ? Or they are regular case fans and they are not to be used as Radiator fans ?
