Subject: Z77 OC Formula MOS fan making noises
Posted: 29 Jan 2017 at 12:51am
Hi
I have a the Z77 OC Formula MBoard and the MOS fan is on its way I think.
Sometimes at power up it rattles away, higher the speed higher the whine.
Able to clear it by power off and on a few times.
Only happening intermittently at the moment but its sure to get worse.
so the question is can i replace the fan?
Is there thermal paste connecting underneath? I notice there are screws on the fan do these remove it? Can I replace without removing the Mboard from the case? What size is the fan?
Any thoughts or ideas?
Many thanks
