Am i able to replace the two front fans? I plan on using my Hydro Dynamic fans instead

Yes you can. If you are not using liquid cooling you can even install them on the top

Yep. All the fans are replaceable. If you don't like red, you can even have the LED for the front panel not turn on (it's only in red however, no way to change the color).

It seems that the fans are not working properly to match the energy that is consumed by the equipment. I haven't had the time to check with the Optoma Tech Services to check if there is an option for those fans/coolers.

That is an option, but the cooler works well with the two fans. It is the best cooler I have purchased. This is my forth. Good Luck

I did look at replacing the fan with a quieter PC case fan. There isn't a connector, it's hardwired. And as mentioned, if you are good with a soldering iron then you should be able to solder a new one in. But is is definitly not plug and play, like you might see inside a computer case.

The fans move plenty of air however the front fans were a little loud for me so I swapped them out with some higher quality ones from corsair. Was a pain so only do it if they are too noisy for you.

I don't think they are. The fans on the Corsair Hydro Series Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H100i are so that is what I used in this case.

I've actually done this swap already, since the stock fan on my 212 ate it. As long as you harvest the old mounting hardware, you're in good shape, just be sure to mount it with the same airflow direction as original.

Just use the provided fan and I'd you dislike it then you should get a new one. I'm currently using the stock fan.

I am actually looking for a replacement fan for the exact same gpu. I found one on this Chinese site (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/DC-12V-0-5AMP-Server-Cooling-Fan-For-FirstD-FD8015U12S-Server-Square-Fan-2-wire-80x80x25mmfree/822654237.html) but I'd much rather buy one on amazon :(

No, you dont. At least not in my setup, dunnow how is yours. Check where your fan is, and how it is installed. This fan has 4 screws just like the original

yes you can, but for the love of all things holy please don't. Find a brand name cooler with great reviews if you need an external fan support. My first stop would be to check if the fans are as clean as possible.

I bought mine at Micro Center, the black version, and it came with 2 front fans that have white LED lights. Maybe it all depends on your luck...

It depends on your setup, stock you can add 3, two on the side panel and one on the bottom. I use a water cooled system so I use the rear 140 mm and turned the two led 120's to draw from the front. I have the H100i mounted in the top so up there I have two 120mm fans. The case is huge so you should have no problem keeping it cool with the stock setup.

Yes, but. Depending upon your memory configuration and motherboard layout, you may only be able to use one fan on the cooler. Also, in my case, I had to remove one of the side panel fans. But it works every bit as good as my liquid cooled system, so I am quite pleased. (I was able to keep both fans on the cooler.)

Technically you can't replace the fan. The fan is hardwired with the USB plug. That being said if you are good with rewiring the plug you could use a different fan.

Yes you will need to remove you complete fan shroud. You may also need to swap your water pump pulley for additional clearance if necessary. Thanks Brian
