728950	2008-12-14 09:21:00	Right found what I was after -- Is the fan actually attached to the heatsink already - according to This picture (www.imagef1.net.nz)of a dx2200 the fan is mounted correctly.	wainuitech (129)
728951	2008-12-14 09:41:00	yep as above says the heatsink is mounted onto the motherboard then the fan screws into the heatsink from what i could see just now, and the pic above looks exactly like my motherboard, so what should i do? lol	lisamarie01 (6731)
728952	2008-12-14 09:48:00	Well if thats whats its meant to look like, there's not much you can do about it Just as long as its secure it should be OK	Speedy Gonzales (78)
728953	2008-12-14 10:15:00	yeah but i dont want it to stayin its current machine i want it in the new one and that doesnt allow for the screws into the case so how do i do that?	lisamarie01 (6731)
728954	2008-12-14 10:18:00	What is it? A P4 478 pin?? If it is I would get a proper P4 heatsink/fan	Speedy Gonzales (78)
728955	2008-12-14 10:21:00	Best bet, take it to a tech, or maybe if you live in the same town/city as one of the techs here; maybe one will stop by and have a look and advise you. Otherwise, I can see a sh|t load of trouble in the near future through lack of understanding/details	Myth (110)
728956	2008-12-14 12:23:00	i have just found a pdf file on my motherboard/computer if anyone wants to have a look it explains the heatsink etc bizsupport2.austin.hp.com	lisamarie01 (6731)
