I'm being stubborn about the CPU that much because I'm really afraid of replacing the fan....... a friend tried it once on his CPU... he detached the fan from the connections and wanted to take it off the CPU, next thing I know he ripped the entire CPU out of the motherboard socket which was locked with the CPU glued together with the fan in his hand..... and if I do something on my own PC it always goes wrong >_< Yeah I'm a klutz.....

how is that even possible? The fan is attached to the heatsink by 4 screws. One on each corner. The fan is attached to the motherboard by a connector pin that can be pulled free!

his friend disconeccted the fan but the thermal was basically like superglued to his cpu

I have never seen that... the worst I've seen is that the fans are compatible with only one type of heatsink. But that's about it./
