Making sure that you use the supplied electrically conductive grease to the processor's top surface, you just press the four pins into the motherboard and rotate them in order to lock the fan in place. There is a simple wiring connection that you should see marked on your motherboard that corresponds to the connector on the fan.

In most cases, you only want the cpu fan installed directly to the motherboard, unless you are an enthusiast or just want it to run quietly.

You can fix the fan yourself. This user posted a video showing how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjRDjOL8nCYMy penguin model started to develop a whirr, so I followed the instructions in the video and it's now back to quiet. If your fan is totally dead and you're out of warranty, it's easy to replace. It's just a standard 2-pin 80 mm computer fan. They run about $5 on eBay. Unscrew four to six screws on the bottom of the basin, lift off the top or bottom section, unscrew four screws holding the fan, disconnect the fan connector (it's not soldered, just attaches to a pair of pins on the control board,) plug in the new fan and replace the screws.

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.

There was 4 screws holing it in place. Two on one side and two on the other. I used an electric drill and removed the four screws and it slid right out and the new fan went right in. Replaced the screws and I was done in 15 minutes!

Yes, Bob. The fan assembly I received actually included a tiny packet of "thermal paste". Check-out "http://www.ehow.com/how_6870400_install-775-cpu-fan.html" for a little more help if you need it.

you can not push pull the h100i the rivits for the handle installation on the outside are in the way of the fan screw holes

your case should have come with 4 long thin screws, when u remove the front panel near the bottom you will see sets of screw holes in 4 corners, the fan gets mounted facing out from the front of case and that is where the long screws come into play, u will feed the long screws through the the entire fan holes and screw in to the case

probably the easiest way to get what you need is,loosen set screw from shaft turn fan over tighten set screw you should be good to go

You have to use the bracket supplied with the new fan. There are no threaded holes in the mobo to receive the screws. Also, the bracket snaps in from the underside of the mobo so this fan is not easy to retrofit on an existing system. You may have to take the mobo out of the chassis.

You have to look that up through the manufacturer's specs for your machine. Yes you have to either use the existing fan in your unit or purchase a new one. You are far better off just buying a new machine as I purchased this processor through Eagle Eye Electronics and got it D.O.A and then the seller kept my money anyway, even after I returned the faulty processor to him.

It usually only takes a nut driver or flat blade screw driver. Not sure if your old fan bracket will line up with bracket. Over all pretty easy.

I did look at replacing the fan with a quieter PC case fan. There isn't a connector, it's hardwired. And as mentioned, if you are good with a soldering iron then you should be able to solder a new one in. But is is definitly not plug and play, like you might see inside a computer case.

From the box shot and price I would guess NoI would say you need to add a heatsink and fan

I believe mine was just the CPU, and we used an old fan. We bought thermal paste separately.
