The fan on top of the case is squeaking. How do I replace it?

Replace with another 200mm fan, available from www.corsair.com. I believe the part number is CC600TW-200MM. You may find it here on amazon.

Just remove the filter unscrew it. Need to remove mb also. Been awhile since I looked at mine but that should work.

You can fix the fan yourself. This user posted a video showing how to do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjRDjOL8nCY My penguin model started to develop a whirr, so I followed the instructions in the video and it's now back to quiet. If your fan is totally dead and you're out of warranty, it's easy to replace. It's just a standard 2-pin 80 mm computer fan. They run about $5 on eBay. Unscrew four to six screws on the bottom of the basin, lift off the top or bottom section, unscrew four screws holding the fan, disconnect the fan connector (it's not soldered, just attaches to a pair of pins on the control board,) plug in the new fan and replace the screws. Seriously, a monkey could do it.

I took it out, since my chassis do not have the space in front (there is a BIG front cover). It seems to be a standard 120mm fan, so it certainly is replaceable.

The fan is fine, I expected that. However, there is a "tinny, rattling, whiny" sound that is most annoying. This can't be right.

Not sure. Entire fan was cheap enough to just replace fan compared to Lowes price which was double!!!

If it was working fine and then failed I'd get it replaced under warranty. Sounds like the motor or the fan itself is rubbing and now has completely failed - just a bad unit. But make sure nothing got inside it to bind it up. It should be under the 1 year warranty.

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, i´m studing it yet.)

your case should have come with 4 long thin screws, when u remove the front panel near the bottom you will see sets of screw holes in 4 corners, the fan gets mounted facing out from the front of case and that is where the long screws come into play, u will feed the long screws through the the entire fan holes and screw in to the case

I may just have a bad one, but my fan vibrates like crazy making it unusable as a sleeping noise maker.

You probably have two options. One is to see if there was a parts list included in the packaging. If so, you may be able to order a new one. And, sorry to say, the other option as a last resort would be to buy a new fan. I am going to assume though that there is a parts list. Good luck!

If the fan was bought through Amazon, their customer service rep will work out a way for you to get the parts. But if it was damaged in transit, you should file a damage report with the carrier.

I had same problem. The fan was not working proper. The company sent me a new one and has been working fine ever since

I have this problem with my fan. I'm assuming it's from moving or repositioning the fan, since you have to pick it up from the top. It usually resolves itself if I turn it on and off and/or make sure the fan is aligned with the base.

We have the Hello Kitty model. A week ago, ours started doing the same thing, making a very loud whirring fan noise. At first i was able to move it around and i got the sound back to the original "whisper quiet" sound level. Turned it on tonight and the fan is dead. Got it November 2010, so we're two months out of warranty... :(

There is a small cooling fan that cannot be heard over the power supply fan/cpu fan!

Either the fan is broken (easily replaceable), or its a problem with your motherboard, try connecting the top fans to a different connector on your motherboard, if that doesn't fix it, I'd just replace the fan, or get the box replaced.

They do not sell replacement fans for this. You can remove the fans from their frame and replace them with standard 80mm case fans, though.
