The top fan in my Cooler Master HAF 932 rattles like fuck so I need to replace it.

What fan(s) should I get?

According to the specs on the website, it says:

Quote
Top: 230 x 30 mm fan x 1 / 700 rpm / 19 dBA (supports 120 mm fan x 3 /
120 mm fan x 1 + 230 x 30 mm fan x 1)


I'm guessing that means I can get either 1x 230mm, 3x 120mm, or 1x 120mm and 1x 230mm?

Any suggestions on the best setup and specific product options? Thanks.

The best setup would be a 230mm in top rear, with a 120mm in top front.

As for brand, that's pretty much up to you. the ones with the better bearings cost more, and last longer.
For the 230mm you're pretty much stuck with Bitfinex... https://pcpartpicker.com/products/case-fan/#s=230&sort=-cfm&page=1

As for the 120mm any with a good bearing, high CFM and low dBa.


Be conscious of the fan connectors and the connectors your computer can support.

Cool I'll check those out thanks.

How do I know what connectors I need? Or where to look on the product page to find out what they are?

For now I just unplugged the fan, as the sound is unbearable. Hopefully won't get too hot -- plenty of other fans and airflow so I imagine it should be ok.

The connector on the end of the fan you have now.

Fans uisually have 3 pin or 4 pin or 4 pin molex.


/e It seems like the 230mm Bitfinex fans come with all three types of connector.

OP needs a case fan, not a CPU cooler.
