question about cpu cooling fan

[narhic_fd]

while taking my heatsink off the cpu , which by the way is a socket 754 i was wondering what size is the fan thats attached to the heatsink?? I was comparing it to my case fan and it seams to be a 60mm fan , is this correct?? IF it is can i buy a better 60mm fan that faster or whatever and attach it to the heatsink instead of what came with the cpu heatsink bundle, will that work??

Sure you can replace your HS Fan, you just need to figure out how a different fan can attach. Sometimes the screw holes won't line up, etc.

any idea what size the fan is on it, i would messure it but i dont have a ruler in my house, lol, seriously i dont. It looks like 60mm but not sure. So as long as i can get it to attach to the heatsink i should be good. I wonder if i can buy just a fan thats made for the heatsink. couldnt find one on newegg.

It could be 60mm, but it's probably 70mm. And 70mm fans are fairly hard to find.
