Way to start off a new build :(

Well I figured since I wasnt tired and my new stuff would be starting to arrive later today lol its 1:40am here. I'd take my noctua fans apart and get them modded. The 120mm fan came apart as seen in the vids I had seen. But the 140MM one well lets just say its borked

the center of the fan where the spindle is snapped leaving a hole in the middle of the fan center.. So now I get to run out tomorrow and hopefully find some decent fans in stock somewhere that will work. I'm hoping a brick and mortar store here called Altex still carries the sickle flows which have a slightly larger cfm to them and at a whopping .8Db quieter yes thats point eight Db but they have a 69CFM rating versus the 140's 65CFM and the 120's 54CFM. so cooling potential should be equal or slightly better. Anywho I am one disappointed camper at the moment. A look on the bright side lol now all my fans will match

those were the only 2 that were different

damn no matter what I try I can get it lined back up without a wobble

and ordering new ones is out lol 29$ and 25$ for them might as well buy another D-14 at those prices lmao So Sickle Flows it'll be if I can find them
