I just recently bought this motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I don't know a lot of terms for cpu fan models but my fan are the ones where you have to screw them in. This motherboard uses fans that needs to be clipped on. My fan kind of looks like this:

Is there another way I can fit my fan into this motherboard.

If not then all I have to do is replace the heat sink right? Need a link to a super cheap one.

When you buy an A8 CPU, I think it comes with a stock cooler. Otherwise you'll have to find one that fits that type of CPU socket. Don't know what HP does.

My old motherboard is an FM2 motherboard (bought with the computer) but it fits Intel fans (not sure why).
