Hi,

My CPU fan needs replacing, but I don't want to take out my motherboard and mess anything up. Some of the cooling fans say that you will need to take out the motherboard to install the fans, but some don't. Does anyone know any cheap/good CPU fans that would just snap in without a need for taking out the motherboard. I have narrowed it down to a cooling fan for a LGA 775 to work with an Intel Core 2 Duo.

MOBO

( Asus P5N-E SLI nForce® 650i SLI Chipset w/6-channel CODEC, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, IEEE-1394 Dual PCI-E MB )

PROCESSOR

( Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6420 (2x 2.13GHz/2MB L2 Cache/1066FSB) )

I also have a cooling system added into my system (I got it premade). The cooling kit has tubes going into the processor and I am not sure if going for a new cooling fan will affect that. Would I just take out the cooling fan? I am not sure how to get it to connect to the new cooling fan.
