    So around 5 months ago I bought one of these:

    Coolermaster CM Storm CF-19 Strike Force Notebook Cooler Black Dual 140MM Fans & 4 Port USB3.0 Hub - COOLERMASTER - SGA-6000-KKYF1

    and I was wondering if you guys know of any specific fans that I can use to replace these ones.

    I'm asking because at max speed, these fans make a loud bassy noise.

    Also, when searching for 140mm fans, do I have to take in account its own RPM? Because according to SF-19, the stock fans go from ~1000 - ~2600rpm apparently.

    I personally use the cooler master Xtra-flo fans in mine but AFAIK, those arent available i the US..

    Here are some links..
    Newegg.com - XIGMATEK XAF-F1456 140mm White LED Blue Case Fan Ultra Quiet Copper Bushing Axis Aeronautical Oil System Bearing
    Newegg.com - Scythe SY1225SL12SH 120mm "Slipstream" Case Fan
    Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Turbine Master MACH1.8 R4-TMBB-18FK-R0 120mm 1800 RPM Case Fan

    you dont have to worry about rpm the fan speed controller controls the fans in percentage of maximum so irrespective of fan rpm, the controller will work fine,

    i believe it will take 140x25mm or 120x25mm replacement fans, as for selection you cant go wrong with frozencpu it should support 3 or 4 prong. i was going to replace my soon.
