I've purchased the aforementioned CPU cooler and it comes with marginally noisier fans than my Vipers. So I bought some spare.
Unfortunately, despite having more Vipers than your average snake pit, I cannot fit the CPU two to the Noctua due to the steel clip threading through plastic pins in the OEM fans... I cannot seem to get them out in any way. Please note - the fans are off the heatsink, it is the actual fasteners I am on about!
I have holes in my fingers to prove that I have attempted too!
