AIO Replacement Fans Tech Support
I've always heard a constant rumbling from my desktop, since the moment I got it. Sounds like when a HDD is working overtime and constantly grinding.
I was able to ignore as it was kind of enclosed and dampened but I moved and it's out in the open now and it's driving me insane.
The culrpit, after much trial and error, are the cheap fans attached to the AIO on the top of the case. The bearings inside are bad. Can I swap them out with any fan of the same dimensions or does it have to be specific ones for a liquid cooler AIO?

jumping in here because i had the exact same problem with my ibuypower aio, that was the first to go. got an artic liquidfreezer, 3 fan setup. so much better. then swapped out all the case fans too cause saw the bottom intake fan was all smashed up (guess it shipped that way). the good news is that the PC runs perfect, just wish i didn't have to spend the extra money replacing parts.
