How to change the CPU fan, how to set up a new CPU fan

If the fan and the heatsink do not correspond, you need to replace the heatsink, and buy a fan and heatsink in one. Correctly it should be called"CPU heatsink"

It consists of a fan and a thermal module.

Underneath the fan is a thermal module.

Underneath the thermal module is the CPU

What you call for nothing on the CPU is thermal paste.

Please clean it up.

It is best to have alcohol or stain removal oil.

If you don't have one, you can wipe it with toilet paper until it's clean.

Next, you have to prepare a piece of thermal paste, of course, it is recommended to buy a reputable one, such as: Cool Mom or S brand metal thermal paste.

It's up to you

Then it's just a matter of picking a cooler for your CPU specs.

Or another way is to simply replace the fan of the original radiator and replace it with a fan that rotates slower.

That would be a lot less noise.

However, the heat dissipation effect will be relatively poor.

If you want to dissipate heat well, don't be too noisy.

That is, of course, to buy a large thermal conductive module, with a large fan with a low speed 12cm, or something like that.

This results in heat dissipation and quietness.

But the cost will be a little higher, because large cooling modules will be a little more expensive.

Weigh it yourself and see for yourself

Brothers, look at it, this guy is asking how to change the CPU fan, not how to return the CPU heat sink, the heat sink needs to be silicone well, and the fan only needs to take down the fan on the heat sink and replace it with a new one, as long as you can see which is the screw of the fan, you can get it again, or you should replace the CPU heat sink if it is broken.

You open the case and you see the fan, and you lift the clip, and you can take it off, and you can take it off, and you can look at it.

Changing the fan is also a way to overclock, directly remove the fan, and wipe the glue on it clean after removing the CPU, because you need to use new heat dissipation glue to replace the new fan, not too much, just appropriate.

Swap it with a pair of industrious hands.

Nowadays, more and more friends are learning to install computers, but many are enthusiasts, and the power of the CPU is very large, and if you can't get timely heat dissipation, it may burn out. The following is what I share with you is how to set up a new CPU fan, welcome to read and learn.

How to set up a new CPU fanTools Raw materials.

A computer (without a heatsink).

Radiator. Method steps.

Get the fan ready, I'm using an original intel radiator here.

Then align the four corners of the CPU with the fixing holes on the motherboard.

Then press down the CPU fan foot.

After the CPU fan feet are fully entered into the motherboard fixing holes, press down the four pins of the fan cards as well.

See if you have your feet aligned.

Check the power socket of the CPU into the socket of the CPU fan.

Finally, check if the CPU cooler is working properly.

1.Shut down and disconnect the power supply, remove the fan power cord from the CPU fan header on the motherboard, and if the fan has an RGB cable, remove the RGB cable from the CPU cooler and the RGB connector on the motherboard as well.

3.Unlock the heatsink from the mounting lugs of the motherboard slot, which has a clamp on the cam rod side.

4.Gently twist the CPU fan back and forth from side to side, slowly separating the heatsink from the CPU top cover.

5.Carefully lift the CPU cooler, and the CPU should remain in the slot after removing the fan.
