Simple video about removing the Intel boxed CPU heatsink and fan assembly. Mounting the heatsink is same but reverse the steps and do not forget to apply thermal paste. Any questions or comments check my channel.

  • does anyone know if there's any way to replace only the fan?

    (not the heatsink)

    thanks

  • @anatrakya The whole unit is integrated into one package besides the aluminum part. The fan is molded to the push pin mounts no way to remove just the fan.

  • how do i remove just the fan from the heatsink plz reply my pc is overheating

  • @bravefartt There are small clips on the sides but the fan has the mounting bracket integrated in so cant just remove it. Your heatsink wont have a mount anymore. I suggest getting a aftermarket cooler they are cheap some as low as 15-20 dollars.

  • @RickArter i've searched on web but havent find any CPU fan. d you think i can use a case fan. any thought about how to adapt one? (CPU has a 4pin fan and most case fans are 3pinned.). thanks

  • @anatrakya Just get rid of the stock cooler it is crap go and find a cheap aftermarket one like a CM Hyper 212 or a AC Freezer pro 7 rev 2.

  • hes helping you with something. sit down shut the fuck up and stop worrying about the god damn camera

  • nice and informational, but the cinematography is terrible, much too shaky and half the time its not even focusing on the subject (the heatsink) use a tripod. otherwise it was good :)

  • Some tips:

    Use a screwdriver

    Don't manhandle it--unless if you can afford a new fan/mobo

    Try turning the pins at different angles and then removing the pin

  • Thanks. I've never dealt with push pin mounts before, and your video probably saved me a frustrating hour or (or worse).

  • i dont see it jerk!

  • @KarazhanIsCake Keeps my CPU cool, all I care about lollo
