Keezer fans not lasting

[sancycling]

I built a simple keezer with a wood collar and added two old computer fans to recirculate air continiously.
Those two fans started to make a lot of noise, even my neighbor made a comment. I live in an apartment. He didn't complain, otherwise he would not get any of my homebrew!!! But the point is that they were loud.
A couple of weeks ago I replaced them with two new fans. Simple 4in plastic 12V computer fans, nothing fancy. I've noticed that they are starting to become loud. I believe the cold temp in the keezer is killing them.

Any suggestions? Ideas?

Thanks

I use a fan like this:

There is a whole slew of different "brand names" of these fans, but they're all about the same: 4", run off a USB wall adapter (which you'll need to have, or pick one up at the same time).

I've had one like this in my keezer for about 20 months now.

PS: It's quiet.

Be sure to get ball bearing fans, they will generally outlast sleeve bearing fans by a considerable margin.

I've been using this one for almost a year with no issues yet...

fwiw, I use a 120mm 12VDC fan that's been in 24/7/365 use since mid-2011.
All fans are not created equally...

Cheers!

I just bought 2 good Corsair brand 120mm 3pin fans and a $3 molex powersupply on ebay. Working great so far.
