No, google was not relevant and I need a temporary 80 mm fan.
Should be. They're just held on by some plastic clips, right?
Look at it and see if there's any screws/clips? I saw some coolers with pins you can't remove but I don't think AMD does this kind of bullshit.
i just happen to have one lying around on my desk, and it was piss easy to remove it. all it takes is a screwdriver, really.
Pop it apart with a screwdriver. Problem solved.
my socket am3 cpu has plastic snap tabs that need to be bent back a bit careful not to break anything also why would you take the fan off your cpu? not a good idea
