Swapping fans out (noob question)

[nzo]

So I purchased a heatsink for my i5 2500k. I got the CM Hyper 212 that comes with a CM 120mm fan.

Simple question..

Can I swap that fan on the heatsink with this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103060


I just want to get more blue LED lighting in the center of my case.

Yeah, it should just swap out fairly easily. You might even want to use that to set it up in a push pull config, it can help bring temps down a bit more if you need it.

Hi

Umm you can ..... but does the pretty fan have the cfm that the original had ??? If it doesnt you will overheat your CPU....

All the best Brett
