[SOLVED] replacement exhaust for FT02

[Colif]

So as per topic, I have one of these - https://silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=242&area=en - but its exhaust fan is starting to die, its not a constant noise, it took me a while to isolate it and not blame PSU or CPU fan.

Fun part is finding a fan that isn't rgb that has similar specs - 1 x 120mm exhaust, 1200rpm, 19dBA
I think they are these - https://silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=348&bno=53&tb=101&area=en
next best choice would be https://silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=338&bno=53&tb=101&area=en

but i can't find them locally (Aust)

but outside of silverstone I don't know?

Several offerings from Noctua should meet your needs. I would suggest looking here:

https://noctua.at/en/products/fan

For example: https://noctua.at/en/products/fan/nf-s12a-pwm

Finding in Oz? Not sure about that.

That looks about right, I can get that here too.

I actually know PC would be fine without the exhaust given case design but i think its helpful to have it there for the summer months, so in 6 months time.

as typical its a weekend and with things as they are, I will wait and see. Noise isn't constant enough to make me fix it now. it can wait until Monday.

I don't see why you would need an exact replacement. Any 120mm fan should work.

However, I would get this $25 Noctua below before you get the one above:
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/bKFPxr/noctua-case-fan-nfs12bredux1200pwm
Its 1200rpm just like the original and 18.1dba so pretty close. Plus this fan is PWM. It also is a grey Noctua, that doesn't look so bad imo.

im just picky lol.

you can't see the fan from where I sit, so you right. Its why i don't need rgb, as that would just create an odd color scheme on roof - probably a lot of dots

 

[NightHawkRMX]

LOL.

Both the fan you linked and the cheaper one I linked seem on paper to be very similar.

Both Noctua
Both 120mm
Both PWM
Same RPM
Similar DBA

However, the one I linked is a bit cheaper and colored differently.

Your pick.

Yeah, I know. thanks for the help
