So, I was cleaning out my dust filter for my two 140mm stock case fans (Corsair Obsidian 750D) and I was stupid enough to try to place it on while my computer was running and broke off two fan blades, should I replace it? If I have two I want to replace both, what fans should I get?

When I did this (yeah, I did it. I'm smart.) I just put the fan back in and didn't think anything of it. I was lucky that the blade didn't fly up and hit me in the eye since it was spinning as fast as it could. It could have done some damage.
I still use it. When I put it back in it was a little un-even and was vibrating in my hand while I had hold of it.
I don't have that case, but if it doesn't cause any difference in temperatures and any difference in noise, then it should be good for now. I'd recommend buying a new fan when it starts affecting your PC by being too loud or changing your temperatures.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that did this, thanks for the help.
