Can I replace the D14 fans with these Corsairs ?

Fif23 · Feb 3, 2017

Hey guys ! So, after 5 years of service the bearings on my D14 finally failed.
I don't want to spend too much for new fans for it because then I might as well get a new D14.
So, are these good and quiet ?

go for the SP120 fans if you are using it for heatsinks and radiators

I'd try to find some Noctua fans on eBay or so, ofc not at full price. But that's just what I'd do.

Noctua has a 6 year warranty.

Yes, thats true! Maybe you get warranty on it. 5 years, I wondered anyway why the fan('s) fail so soon, they're supposed to hold longer.

i don’t recommend the fans you linked , because its air flow (AF) fans . low static pressure

for heat sink or restricted intake , you need SP fans ( Static Pressure )

here is a picture from amazon reviews to show the difference

for 120mm SP fans , you have many options :

- Corsair SP 120 LED White High Static Pressure Fan - twin pack = $20.99
there is other LED colors ( pick what you like )

- Corsair SP120 PWM High Performance Edition " up to 2350 RPM" ( NO LED ) Twin Pack = $28.99

- Corsair SP120 PWM Quiet Edition "up to 1450 RPM" (NO LED) Twin Pack Fan= $29.99

- Corsair SP120 High Performance Edition "up to 2350 RPM" (NO LED) Twin Pack Fan = $27.99

- Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition (NO LED) Twin Pack Fan = $26.54

also there is nice and cool looking thermaltake LED Ring SP fans in both size 120mm and 140mm

- Thermaltake Ring 14 (140mm) High Static Pressure RED LED = $17.99
- Thermaltake Ring 12 (120mm )High Static Pressure RED LED = $15.99
^ available in other colors ( yellow, orange, red, blue, white, green )

the fans that comes with your cooler
- Noctua NF-P12 PWM = $18.91
- Noctua NF-P14 140mm = $19.99
= $38.9

so it will be better maybe to get 1x 140mm fan + 1x120mm fan
instead of 2x 120mm fans

i think any good SP fan will work fine and get the job done ( cooling CPU )
the difference will be noise and longevity

Noctua have a very ugly looking fans
i wish if they add option to sell their coolers without their ugly fans xD

There are industrial-fan style fans of Noctua which look arguably better and are cheaper as well (grey/black).

true , i forget to link these fans

Noctua NF-P14r redux-1500 PWM = $16.30

Noctua NF-P14s redux-1500 PWM = $16.18

they should at least include these fans with their coolers

xD

I like the fans. See my avatar. It's a matter of taste. And also of recognizabilty. A PR thing. Brown fans? It's a Noctua.
