I was stupid enough to try to place my dust filter back on while my computer was running and I broke off two pieces in the front of my fan, will this cause anything? I'm just freaking out right now. It's brand new. My case is a Corsair Obsidian 750D it's the front fans that come with the case. I got three up top for exhaust.

Edit: I think I placed this in the right subform, if could a mod or someone move it.

It was a fan blade, it didn't get louder. Should I replace it ASAP?

I would. Being unbalanced, it will eventually die. You want to change it at a time of your choosing, rather than when it decides to die.
Fans are cheap.

Might as well replace both front fans, what fans would you recommend?

Too many variables to suggest a particular fan. Color, lighting, price....
Possibly research what the original ones are, and just get those.
