So back in march i built a new computer using all Lain-li fans and having three of them be lcd reverse blade fans for my aio, after just a few months the middle fan stopped spinning just totally seized up and would only break free after some manual force was applied to it. I went and got another one to replace and just a 2 months after i replaced it another one of the original three suddenly stopped spinning but the whole time the lcd never stopped working.

My thought is that either the fan's motor or bearings are failing.

I would expect that the lcd and motor are on different circuits with respect to the controllers, etc...

Something like the following diagram (Corsair) chosen to represent the connections involved.

And show why the lcd/leds can work but the motor does not...

You can easily find other similar images and diagrams.

Where were the fans purchased?

at the time most of them were acquired through amazon because most places at the time including newegg were on a big back order list. but yes both the fans that failed came from suppliers off of amazon
