Daaaaaamn that's nasty.... suddenly I have the urge to go see my miners as well. 
Did you see any difference in temps after installing the new fans?
E: Thanks for the fan model & link tho. I think I'm gonna order few just in case.

Hi guys,
Got my replacement fans today.
Pretty interesting stuff.

So there are the fans from one of my miners that "sings" all day long that I suspect a fan will go out soon.
The rear fan (the one with the extra long cable) is for sure not a new fan. Look how aged the plastic is, there are some pits and scratches in it as well.
The good news is the inside is NOT covered in rust and corrosion on every solder point like my first fan that died in 48 hours. So old used fan, for sure, might last a while longer, Yes.
It also has a different circuit board than the dead one, even though both are labeled the same. Wonder hold old that broken fan I got with my "new" miner is.
Anyways. The TFC 1212DE i ordered came as a "-5b66" instead of a "-sp07"
I don't know the difference, but it works pretty damn well.
Only issue with this one was the front fan cable will barely reach. The back cable needs to be extended,just like they already did with all of the back fans. Spliced, soldered, whatever. Probably should buy a molex crimper and some ends.
The fans I ordered

And yes, my miners do disconnect and stop mining every now and then, for zero reason. Stupid miners.
