I would advise to first look for exact fan model as your option: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Delta-12038-FFC1212DE-12V-2-4A-server-fan-DC-Brushless-Fan-Cooling-Fan/542666457.html
It would be better if you use this one instead of using other fans in which some might have slower RPM and some stronger which each could give some little complication as result.

Hmm okay thanks. For now i used hot glue to make it fit in place and its fairly better, but i'd like to find a replacement in the near future. If no one come up with a cheaper/closer solution for that fan, i might buy it from there.
I don't know about cheaper but I would look for it on Amazon or somewhere else possibly if you are wanting it in a timely manor. That listing guarantees 60 day's from china. So you might be lucky and get much quicker.
But guaranteed date is not so good on timeline if you need it in any sort of hurry. 15 - 40 day estimate is just a huge range they picked.
I can't find any "FFC1212DE" around. And its not like i really need it in a timely manner, i could leave the hot glued one run for a long time i think its more a matter of proper-ness or resale.
Its just that if i order from China, it might not get here before i move, lol.
Sanyo ace makes a good substitute I use them on my rev 2 avalon6s
Maybe you can find them on Canada eBay.
I havent tried one on a A6. But I did have good luck on S4's using them as replacements. They were one of the recommended ones there and actually were faster then stock S4 fan's. - https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204199879-Antminer-S4-fan-specification-and-possible-replacement-fans
So I have nothing against Sanyo. They seemed to work well for the price. For full resale you are probley right about getting same model.
I may also keep them for a year. If these become like the Avalon 4, where you downclock them when you want silence, later on. Then i'll still want even cooling for less noise. Either way i guess i'll move, then order one. It should be here before the bad of the summer hit.
