i never did the upgrade and kept stock fans knowing id never recoup the cost
S9 lost a fan blade today. I have a kit to upgrade to 140mm fans but the Noctua fans I purchased a while back didnāt have a plug that matched so I returned them. Where do you find the 140 mm fans with the correct plug? Noctua seems to be a good fan but their plugs donāt match the S9. They have a narrow channel guide where the S9 has a wide channel guide on the motherboard. #asknostr

Yeah regretted it after I got the fans and they didnāt plug and play. I couldnāt return the adapters so Iāve held on. Now that a fan blade broke off, I thought Iād see what I could learn.
I canāt even find a 120mm Noctua fan that has the correct plug. I thought about filing down the fan plug so it fits but didnāt want to damage it so I sent it back. Just curious to see what others are doing. I hate to replace it with a cheap loud fan if I could use one of the Noctua fans that are supposed to be good and quiet.
