Can I cut a pc fan cable?

[SmokW]

I bought a cyberpower pc with the professional wiring, one of my fans stopped working and I bought the replacement. Now, I can't take out the bad fan because I have to disconnect something I don't really understand. My question is if I can cut the cable directle connected to the fan then tape it up and leave it there inside my pc.

If you need to cut the cable you should open the insulation up and cut the 3, or 4 wire to different lengths so they can't touch each other. Then tape it up. Of course if you're unplugging the MB end to install the new fan there he cable wont have any power so it won't matter, until someone forgets and plugs it in by mistake.
