No - a standard fan has a support frame right and the screws go through it
to the heatsink
underneath. So the new fan sits on top of the heatsink - its not embedded
like the original.
Its not pretty but it does the job. And I plugged the connector into a spare
socket on the
mobo but you could splice the wires into the original connector and it would
work.
