Remove the top screws using an allen wrench (comes with the cooler), and the two phillips head screws at the bottom of the cooler. Once the screws are out, the top comes off along with the fan. The fan is clamped to the top, so you just need to release the clamps to seperate the fan.

thanks for this :thup:
Could someone now please tell me what is a good Fan to use to replace the factory v8 fan? Is there maybe a better fan without the manually speed cotroller? I would like for the new fan to be controlled by the motherboard if possible. I am using Asus P6T if that will make a difference.
I would love to have a blue fan if possible :bday: and would love to get some links for the fans (newegg, amazon, frys)
thanks for all your help in advance!!!

Xigmatec makes good fans, and you can't really go wrong with Skythe or Delta.

Are you looking for quiet, cooling, looks, or a balance of the first two or all of the above?

Thank you for the reply,
actually i am pretty happy with my coolermaster V8 but the 120mm fan in it has stopped working. So i am looking just to replace the fan. Would any standard 120mm fan work or i need to get a specific fan for the V8. The dead fan has a controller to manually control the speed. I would like to get a fan if possible where the motherboard can control the speed.
