• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I feel dumb but...

I can't disconnect the fan on my new Sapphire Radeon x1950pro to attach my waterblock! It is a typical three pin header, but it "locks in" and I cannot get it out. Any ideas??? :confused: :confused: :confused:
 
Apparently the solution is to slip with your pair of pliers and sever all wires.

Although now that it is apart I see that there were two small holes in the connector. These needed to be simultaneously depressed while pulling up on the top. I'm not certain how this is possible by yourself without special tools.

Or pilers work fine. Just make sure you grab onto the part that disconnects.
 
Sounds like the good old "yank it off" method worked just fine here.

Excuse me while I go jiggle the handle.
