Because he would be using a stock Intel one I should think if it is an OEM and so, you would need to replace it. You cant unscrew the fans off most Intel HSFs. And if you can remove it, the fans are damn hard to get hold of.

The CPU fan, would be the fan, thats attached to the CPU...
Thats the ONLY board in your PC with a fan attached..
The other fan won't be attached to anything.
PM me for help.
I thought OEMs used their own heatsink and fans?
Theres alot of whatifs in that... 90% you can simply unscrew the fan from the heatsink. granted it requires an expirenced person but then again if your going fiddling around the computer you shouldn't be a novice anyway
Turn off your computer and unplug it, then get a paintbrush (new and clean) and brush out the dust from the fans.
