Is is possible to replace a burnt out fan header?

Anyone know? Got one on my Abit SE6 i815 mobo.

*edit*... by the way, this was done with a 120mm Ys-Tech fan... for those of you like me that thought it would require a more powerful fan to burn out a header.... I know, I know, RTFM.

Not that I know of, but luckily it shouldn't affect the boards proper operation. I burnt a header on my old BH6 using a Delta. I simply wired said Delta to a molex

Yea, I can still run the fans ok too, just gotta wire em to the PS... I was just wondering if its possible... if so, maybe I'll try it...

I would imagine where the burn is, is within the pcb so replacement seems a bit of an impossibility. If it were right at the connection to the header, you may be able to do something.

Dont even bother, too much work for too little of a gain. Just buy a '3 to 4 Pin Adapter'.

You can pick one up at www.coolerchips.com for like $1.50

This is very true, but sometimes a person likes to do something just to do it
