Re: Intel Motherboard Fan Replacement 

The full-board warranty offered by Intel on their motherboards covers the factory-installed fan on the 

board. This means that the fan on an Intel motherboard (inside Aurora Widescreen and Rx systems) 

should 

not

 be replaced, as moving this fan will void the warranty on the motherboard. This is due to 

the high probability of disturbing the phase change material (the thermal adhesive barrier) during fan 

adjustment/replacement, which would render the motherboard inoperable. The Intel motherboard is 

under warranty for 2 years, and if a component on the motherboard fails, the board should be 

replaced.
