Never use Flex-a-lite Blackmagic fans. I went through 2 of them before I ditched them for the dual Spal high speed fans. No problems now for 2 years.

The first Blackmagic fan fell apart. The permanent magnets in the body of the fan became unglued and attached to the armature. Obviously the fan didn't work after that. I called Flex-a-lite but they refused to do anything about it. I was forced to buy the second Blackmagic because the rad and mounting brackets were set up for it. I knew how much work it would be to change brands. So I hoped the second one would work better, but to no avail. I bite the bullet and changed my whole setup for the Spals. It was a lot of work ,but ,so far it was worth it.
