yes mate relatively easy
Bit blurred your picture however I would think you could fit a normal 40mm fan on there if you can remove the chipset heatsink (some are glued to chip) If you can remove (usually two small plastic retainers on corners) it the it can be replaced. Had a quick browse around found this http://www.overclock.co.uk/product.p...cat=0&view=rel Not sure about fixing tho unfortunately cant see properly. Alternatively the Zalman heatsink at the bottom of that page may do. You wont need a fan if you have decent airflow Your best bet is to send an email stating your board and ask if it will fit
"Parent's are the bone's on which their children sharpen their teeth" Never be afraid to do your best work and let the world enjoy it. Never let someone tell you not to try something because it's stupid. Turn off the recommended settings. Break your computer and learn to fix it. |

Whole motherboard had to come out and then the new fan had to be superglued in...also added 2 more 80mm fans at the same time...at least its working now
