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.
