This bothers me. It looks to be a little loose and is sort of shaking. What gives??

Try turning your computer off and then on again.

Basically just screw it into the spot the current one is and connect the power cable.

Unscrew it from the case, find where it's plugged in to the motherboard, and unplug it.

Sounds a bit complicated. Lmao. It's still spinning, so until it stops completely I think I will leave it be. My rig is watercooled and the top 120mm fan is still spinning fast so I believe I will be just fine.

What? You just need a screwdriver. Pull the plug from the original fan, then stick it back in when you screw in the new one.

The fuck? You literally unplug it and take out a screw. That's all there is to it. it could only be easier if it replaced itself. PC case fans are the easiest thing to replace.

First you unscrew the 4 screws to remove it from the case (don't throw them away, you need them for later!). Next unplug the power cable (take note of which plug so you plug the new fan in to the right spot). Next, you screw in the new fan with the screws you saved before. Finally, you plug the new fan into the connector the old fan was connected to.

That wasn't so hard, was it? Maybe if you had the level of common sense as the average person, you could've figured that much out on your own.

I'm guessing any 120mm LED fan will work? This one is a green LED one and it looks cool. I wish my whole rig was RGB lighted but only the fan on the back that's connected to the water cooler is.

I was framed, just a victim in this cold, hard system.

Shame on you for being inconsiderate of other's lives, I know you have drunk and drove. @ManSpread

Lol. Funny how liberals who go on and on about "muh prison industrial complex" want to keep mocking a guy who paid his debt to society and is just trying to move on with his life.

I'm still paying for this shit. I'm gonna break it down for you right quick:

Augusta is bad about this shit, too. I hate living in GA sometimes. I was arrested for a DUI back in 2011, and I wasn't even driving. I was literally sitting on the trunk of my car, on the phone. Doors were locked, car was turned off. Security guard walked up to me and called the cops. I was promptly arrested after I gave them lip. They said cause I had the keys in my pocket it was a DUI. And they also gave me Failure to Maintain Lane. Tf?

5 years later, it's still pending and they've got me in drug court to get it reduced to wreckless driving. I've paid over 7 grand and I have to take 2 drug tests every week, and they are doing ETG tests which go back 80 hours on alcohol. So I can't even drink. I got 10 more months of this shit. Fuck it all. Plus my license was suspended for 30 months. I just got it back last year.
