I upgraded my case about a year ago and transferred over a few fans I had in the old one - so currently have 2 stock fractal 140mm fans and 2 cooler master 120mm fans in the case, plus 1 stock cooler master CPU fan..
that means 3 out of 5 of the fans are about 7 years old. I do blow the dust out pretty often and did my best to 'clean' them with paper towel when I transferred the cases.. but they still get pretty dusty (even with the dust filters for some reason).
I've noticed some vibration noise in my case recently, thinking it could be related to the old fans, or maybe even more ancient hard drives..
TLDR; how often do you replace your case fans?
