</div>Replacing the fan on a heat sink is probably more work than replacing the<br>
whole heatsink. Turning four little mount tabs and lifting a complete<br>
heatsink off and putting on a new one and clicking it in place is less<br>
work than trying to find and replace a (hopefully) screwed on fan from<br>
a heatsink assembly.<br>
<br>
Now back when heatsinks had clips that had to be put on tabs on the cpu<br>
socket, life was a lot harder, but they don't do that on intel's anymore.<br></blockquote><div><br>Stock heatsinks for core2's come with clip-on fans, so it would take about 30 sec. to swap it, assuming a replacement could be found. <br>
<br>That said, since I can't find a replacement fan for the stock fan, I'll have to swap the whole thing out.<br></div></div>
