Hello. Thanks in advance for replying. My stock noctua nh-l9i chromax.black fan has started to fail, it has started making a noise like it has something stuck, I have cleaned it multiple times with compressed air and even disassembled it with no improvement. Now I just recently noticed that the fan kind of slows itself while spinning, you can see it get kind of stuck and spin slower, and obviously temps have been higher.
My question is, should I make the move to a bigger and, probably, better fan other than the stock?. If yes which one would yo recommend for the type of open air build?.
The CPU that it is cooling is a Ryzen 2700X.
Thanks again.
