How to unclip a fan from my CPU cooler?

[naz6678]

I should have probably asked this question in the other thread I created a few weeks ago, however, I was wondering how I would go about unclipping the fan from my cpu cooler.

I suppose I should also ask if the radiator on the Corsair H105 would fit in the front of the case, provided I take the two existing fans out? In any event, thanks for any help!

do you know model of your "deep cool" heatsink ?

looking at your picture it seems the fan is mounted on some spring loaded clip... (see arrows)

I looked around real quick in the deep cool web site and found what seems to be your heatsink the DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400.
look at the image bellow to see if you have such a matching "handle" on the side of the heatsink, I will assume pull forward the release, old school tech

Can't really see cooler properly, check it's manual. As for AiO coolers, they should fit wherever fans of same size would.

As paladin says just pull those little lugs outwards & the fan will clip off.

What case model is that ?? If those are 120mm fans it looks tight for an aio with drive cages above & below

You need another 20mm clearance above & below for the radiatior
