Removal of system fan

Hi Guys
Can anyone tell me how you remove the system fans as i need to replace it, i can't seem to find any clips anywhere, my motherboard is the MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR, and the fan i'm talking about is the one above the graphics chip, NOT the CPU
Cheers Guys

take the motherboard out of the case
pinch the heads together on the underside of the 2 small pins
they splay open like a rawl plug does
and pull them from the front
then once they are both out twist it to break the suction of the grease

  • System Fan (90B) Error / HP Pavilion dv7-4060us

    Hi. I have a Pavilion dv7-4060us notebook, Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. I had an overheating problem not too long ago that caused my notebook to shut down on it's own. I bought a cooling pad to help with the overheating, which helped. But now, everytime I start up, it gives me a black screen reading "Operating System has found that a cooling fan has stopped working" or something similar. The error code was "System Fan (90B)." How do I get rid of this error message? Post back here or reach my email at [email protected] Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    This PreBoot Diagnostics that is indicating there is an issue with system fan. It would be a case of System Fan not running or running at slower speed than it should...
    I would suggest, try doing power drain, by disconecting AC adapter, removing battery and pressing the power button for few secs... if that always you to boot to the OS, that Update the BIOS if not than I would suggest contacting HP Tech Support for getting your unit serviced...

  • System Fan 90B Error Message

    Hello,      I've had my Envy dv7-7320us for about 2-3 years and Just last week my notebook shut itself off in the middle of me working on it. When I turned it back on, there was a black screen that read ...... The System Fan <90B> message that everyone here seems to be getting. I sent it over to a computer shop and they cleaned the fan (it was filthy), and I also gave to ok to replace the fan. So they did that as well. Here we are into the 7th day since the error page occured and the shop tells me that the message STILL appears , even after cleaning and replacing the fan. I dont want them to do anything more , because it sounds like things might get costly and if it's something that I can do myself, I would prefer to just do so. Does anyone know why the message could still be appearing , or what other methods I can take to resolve this problem? I just dont want them to do anything drastic or costly for no reason. PLEASE HELP!!

    Some bios's have a error message section that needs to be cleared before the message will stop. If not try clearing the cmos by removing the cmos battery for 15 minutes.

  • Kt4-ultra system fans

    ok guys  - was wondering if you could help me out here!
    i am on a crusade to make my puter as quiet as a really quiet thing on national quiet day!
    already got a nice solid case (lian li 60)
    i have removed the via fan and replaced the whining little thing with a zalman northbridge heatsink (no need for fan)
    proc fan is fairly quiet (it will do till i get a zalman flower or something similar)
    2 front fans are sweet - hardly hear them at all!
    ram just has copper heat sinks (again no fan)
    insinde of puter - apart from the windowed bit has been sound proofed using akasa foam!
    power supply fan is suprisingly quiet (it will do till i can afford a top of the range quiet one anyway)
    but now to my problem!!!!
    the rear system fan is literally blowing me away - lol
    it is supposed to be a low noise all singing all dancing fan but it hasn't made any difference to the case original!
    the reason i am posting here is because this new fan has the sensor line and connects to the mobo sfan 1 socket - which i assumed would alter the fan speed according to the temp of the system!
    but the fan seems to be running at top whack all the time (now my system is running very cool, almost cold in fact  - when i feel the air being pumped out of the fan it is still about room temp!
    is there any sort of set up or progam i need to do/install before the system will start controlling the fan??
    or do you have any other advice?

    ok i downloaded and installed the latest pcalert 4
    this has had no effect in altering fan speed - infact all i can get it to do is beep at me when i set my min temp to 50c - lol
    help please someone - there must be a way of setting optimal temp values and the fans adjusting as needed!!
    or am i expecting the mobo to do too much?
    btw cpu temp is 38c (fan running at 2500)
           system at 35c (fan running at 2766)

  • System fans full blast

    Hi there. I have a Power Mac G5, dual 2.7's, and I turn it on this morning and the system fans immediately kick on full blast, before the OS even loads. They won't slow down or kick off unitil I turn the computer off. I tried resetting the PRAM and SMU, ran the Apple Hardware Test, and it said everything was ok. This thing sounds like a vaccum cleaner, please help!

    Yeah, count me in - dual 2.7.
    New processor and still sleep problems, especially if left alone for long periods of time.
    Here's what I have done so far (still in process):
    1. Erase and install of OS X via disks included with computer for HDD installed in the lower “B” slot. The HDD installed in the “A” slot at this time had all of my software and 10.4.6 with all software updates installed. Install crashed at the end of second DVD and computer had to be shut down via the power button.
    2. Removed primary HDD from the upper “A” slot and replaced it with the newly formatted (erase and install) drive that previously occupied the lower “B” slot.
    3. Started computer, entered basic information and allowed wireless keyboard and mouse to pair. Did not set up AirPort at this time.
    4. Attempted sleep with DVI connected only. Left machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
    5. Plugged in USB 2.0 cable from Apple Cinema Display into main I/O in the back of the computer. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
    6. Plugged in FireWire cable from Apple Cinema Display into main I/O in the back of the computer. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
    7. Plugged in iSight cable and Mighty Mouse into Apple Cinema Display. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
    8. Plugged in FireWire 800 cable from external HDD (powered on) into main I/O in the back of the computer. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
    9. Plugged in USB 2.0 cable from iPod nano into main I/O in the back of the computer. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
    10. Plugged in FireWire cable attached to iPod photo and FireWire cable from CompactFlash card reader into FireWire PCI card. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
    11. Computer not making POST “gong” on restart. Reset PRAM successfully.
    12. Shut down computer and reset SMU. Removed all RAM except innermost two slots.
    13. Restarted computer and allowed it to sleep automatically for 45 minutes. Woke from sleep successfully.
    14. Shut down and remove first pair of DIMMS and replace with next pair. Let computer sleep automatically and wake after 45 minutes.
    And 4 more GB's of RAM to go....
    This unit just had a new processor installed.
    Since then, I have been on the phone with AppleCare for hours. Every tech blames everything except the computer. Good luck, all.

  • How to remove the Southbridge fan - K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI

    How do I remove the Southbridge fan on the K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI (MS-7100) motherboard? It is apparently gone bad and I got a replacement from MSI, but they did not include any instructions.
    Thanks,
    tom3d1

    sk545,
    I am afraid that there is no other way to replace the stock cooler unless you grab the plastic pins with a plier on the backside of the motherboard and push to the forward direction so that the chipset cooler spring mechanism is released.
    DONT dry it yourself if you are not experienced, find help from an ecperienced person... or you may end up with damaging the board...
    If you like just to lubricate just use any contact cleaner can product and spray between the fan plates and towards the center of the fan for about 5 seconds. Rotate the fan manualy several times and power up your system.
    Markoul
    p.s. you dont need to take everything outside the case in order to replace the cooler... just unscrew the board and unplug anything preventing you to flip aside (90 degrees) the board so that you can work at the board's backside

  • System fan error on g62-352ca on startup. are there two fans ie a cpu fan and a system fan?

    I get a system fan error on power up?     Are there two fans in the G52-352CA?   Ie a general system fan and a CPU cooling fan or just the one CPU/heatsink fan?
    If it is the CPU/heatsink fan then there are 4 part numbers for different options.   Is there some way to tell from the model number or features as to which is needed.    I would prefer to have the part in hand before opening everything up.    Are there better fans to buy and if so how do I find them?       This unit was always running a little on the warm/hot side,

    See if any items in locked state...and also after deleting it...activate it and refresh the cache. this shud help

    Hi there
    I think you have to go for replacement cooling fan/heat-sink assembly otherwise it may damage your board, processor, card etc.
    Before that please promptly follow the steps given in this document -- Cleaning vents and fans on the laptop & troubleshooting steps:

  • K8N Master2-FAR - System fan shows 0 rpm ???

    Hi, I just got the K8N Master2-FAR and equipped it with two dual core opterons 265 and 4gb of dual channel ram.
    My biggest problem right now is that all the system fans are running at full speed, though the hardware monitor in the BIOS show 0 rpms for them?
    At the same time my cpu fans are blowing at about 3600 rpms even though their temperature is only about 36 degrees C...
    It sounds a lot like a jetplane, and I'm worried the case will start flying 
    - what to do, what to do???

    Quote from: Djernis on 02-April-06, 18:15:14
    I've got the system fans fixed now  -Faulty wiring... my own fault
    However the speed of the cpu fans are still running 3600-4000 when they are idle at about 36-37 C  ???
    like what i have said, u can use speedfan to control it..
    @admin, soory for using msn stylo....

  • Question about heat & system fan ? with Corecenter software?

    hello guys,
                    i am having some strange experience well i just happened to clean my CPU well just external clean with cloth well then when i started i heard sound of some sort it turned out to be a plastic piece with the fan anyway i just did not do anything else well recently my CPU is very running cool i mean does System temeperature goes high will my CPU fan go high too i mean i dont' get a reading for my System fan speed in corecenter why ? can i do something about it please tell me. ? should i check the inside of my CPU well i am no expert but i am still ameteure well what do you say

    I don't think CoreCenter uses the system temperature to control fan speed.
    Is your cpu fan still working? When you say a plastic piece is broken, do you mean a fan blade? If so you should replace the fan.
