i know that i have seen this before somewhere else but i would like to ask you all what you think

i just got my replacement fan from asus and i am wondering if one could just pull the old fan off or if you must take the mother board out of the case to insall the new fan?

When I installed mine I had to take everything apart to put it on, its kind of a pain to do but if gives you a chance to clean everything

Well I do Helpdesk for a living so the last thing I want to do is talk to people who do the same thing I do :lick:

but do yo think it is possible to do it with out taking everything out?

No, you have to remove the old fan which requires you to get to the back of the mobo to remove the plastic clip things. Just use wire cutters to snip them off.

I pinched mine with some small plyers that way I can keep the little clip things intact
