I purchased 3 computer case fans from a seller in China

[deadbbaron]

I purchased 3 computer case fans from a seller in China for a new build I was doing .They have only been runnig for about a month and two have already seized up .

Trouble is I can't remember the sellers name ,even going back through my feedback .

The modle number of these fans is  HXS C12025B so be careful

I don't know if this is the right place for this ,if not could someone move it to the correct one Thankyou.

The mods will move this to the Buying board.

You can find the purchase in your Purchase History, using the drop down menu to change the date/year.

But you cannot name and shame on the boards.

You have 6 months to open a case for INAD in Paypal, to get your money back.

Never buy an electrical item from China.

You're lucky they just stopped working and didn't burn your house down.

over the years ive bought a lot of computer fans from chinese sellers, never had any fail in a short time but if one did i wouldnt blame the seller as usually i buy the cheapest no name brands.

i buy several at a time so i have spares.

remember these fans are running as long as your computer is running, at very high speed.

they dont last forever.

you can buy expensive 'brand' fans if you want, you have that choice.

Our computers run 24/7

Fans are sourced locally.....like down the road-type locally.

Mine is so old, I doubt it would turn back on.

But she keeps on keeping on.

For updates I just do a restart.
