Best wholesale supplier for iMac case fans?
Hey everyone! I'm currently on the lookout for a reliable wholesale supplier for iMac case fans. My shop has been getting more repairs for older models lately, and I've noticed that the case fans often need replacing. I'm specifically interested in suppliers that offer competitive pricing, good quality fans, and a reasonable RMA policy. Any suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there! I've had great success with a supplier called iFixit. They have a decent selection of iMac case fans, and the pricing is fair, often around $15–$20 per unit depending on the model. The quality has been solid for us, and their RMA process is straightforward—just make sure to keep your invoices handy. They also provide repair guides, which can be a lifesaver when training new techs in the shop. Definitely worth checking out!
Hey! I've sourced iMac case fans from a couple of places, but I usually end up at AliExpress. Prices can be as low as $8, which is tempting, but I've found the quality can vary a lot. Sometimes the fans are loud or don't last long. RMA issues can also be a hassle, as you might have to ship back to China. If you're willing to pay a bit more for peace of mind, I’d recommend sticking with local suppliers like iFixit instead.
