Hi,
I know this is the easiest thing to do when it comes to fixing a problem on a computer but this time it seems I am the one that needs to be replaced not the peripheral.
Do you guys know what or which is the right way to remove a fan from an AMD Athlon Processor?
I have tried one side and it seens the hook that holds it is not there. I Have tried the other side and it is soooo close to the motherboards power supply that there is no way to get screedriver in there. Who is in charge of designing this stuff? I know there is something behind in every designs for computer parts but someone forgot to leave the door open for novices. :-)
Could you provide a tutorial with images for this? Anyone knows of one?
Thank you!!!

Computer casings usually have screws that when removed would provide you with more space to work on your processor. Branded PC's (HP, Dell, etc) however are more complicated either to save space and/or to ensure that only authorized technicians could do the job. Better check your warranty first before fixing you fan yourself.
