Broken fan blade on my 9700 Pro!
yesterday I was working on my new PC setting back up my 120GB HDD and I looked at my 9700Pro And one of my fan blades is gone! I have no idea how or when this happened. Its just gone Its not in the botten of my case either
So does anyone think I should try to fix it? Will this throw it out of balance? Or would this be a good time to get a 9800 pro  |

Well my guess is you have a vibration already with 1 blade gone. Trying to re-glue that blade on will only keep the vibration since the added weight of the glue will throw the balance off. I tried this once and it is just better to get a new fan....... You can run the fan out of balance but the fan bearings will wear out prematurly.....

I had a fan like that and I broke a fin off the other side to allow it to keep working fine. It still works today, albit with a reduced airflow.
