TRH3112 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Im going to do some painting on my AIO, its currently black and i have painted one before with great success but I want to know if it is possible to remove the fan blades from the QL/LL fans so I just have the frame, so I can paint the frame without possibly painting over the fan blades that diffuse the RGB. I have watched a few videos on Coolermaster fans or Thermal take fans, being able to quite simply pop the blades out, I am not sure if the LL/QL series fans are mag lev or ball bearing, or fluid, I have never taken fan blades apart but I'm pretty sure the type of bearing determines if they can be taken apart simply or not. If anyone has any info on if this is possible or if I should should take a safer approach and just hand paint them. much thanks in advance!

Corsair Employee Corsair Notepad Posted March 30, 2021 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 30, 2021 Any modification to the fan is at your own risk and will void the warranty for the fans. We do not advise that you attempt to remove and/or modify your fan in any way, and we are unable to advise on how to disassemble the fan. If you do, you do so at your own risk knowing that if you break something or mess it up in any way that we will not be able to assist you with any sort of warranty replacement.
