Need help removing fan

Pod09 · 10-30-2009, 02:59 PM

Hi

I recently decided to upgrade my power supply for my computer but in order to create the space necessary to remove my current one i need to temporarily remove a fan attached to the motherboard. The fan is an ACER H1.3670C.001 REV B FOX CONN. I only need to remove the fan (not the heatsink) and see no obvious way to take it off. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Fan type is irrelevant. What is the brand and model of the PC or motherboard if homebuilt and what is the fan attached to?

My PC is a Packard Bell iextreme Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 Processor

Here are some pics of the fan and what it is attatched to

Unfortunately for us (but fortunate for you

), we can't see the pics directly on your hard-drive.

You'll need to open a (free) account with a picture-hosting site like ' Photobucket', then upload your pics to there, then post the resulting links here.

When you post the pics, use the 'IMG Code' link, that works for forums etc
