i hate that push-pin crap

imo, if it still works and cools everything enough, don't change it

If one of the fins is broken imo replace the fan as it would be displacing less air than it meant to.It probably will still do a decent job but imagine if the fin snaps and goes flying (very unlikely) but that will definitely not be good as it throws the balance of the fan off causing failure.

if you get any fan, the best fan you can get are zalman fans, i got an NV tritium skt775 and its quiet and looks good as well. only draw back with this fan, you have to unscrew your motherboard from the chassis to get the custom supports in place underneath the mobo.
