CPU Fan

[Theunderdog]

Hey folks, So I've had my pc for about a year now and now the plastic nibs on the Pins (connectors, whatever you call the things that you push into the motherboard to hold it in place) have snapped off from the top 2. Is there any way PCspecialist can support this or will I have to go and purchase a new fan?

Edit: SUPER QUIET 22dBA COOLER Titan fan is the type of fan.

Probably have to buy a new one, if they have snapped clean off i doubt you get replacments for them.

You can buy the ends in a lot of places. With the end they can be little awkward to remove though without the correct tool. The links above were literally the first links I googled so price and place to buy may be more expensive then need to pay. Little shopping around Im sure you can get cheap, if you didnt want to go with the choice of buying a new fan altogether.

Didn't mean the 3 pin connectors. I meant the plastic bit which hold the fan onto the motherboard. Took it off for a clean out and then had some issue's getting it back into place.

Ah apologies. Took post up wrong

So is the Rivets you are talking about, something like these.

Not sure if they would work your your cooler though I'm afraid.
