How to replace fans on Sapphire Vapor X AMD Radeon R9 280x and most GPUs

So I found this old Radeon R9 280x VaporX edition GPU. This used to be one of the best video cards on the market, and I mined a nice amount of bitcoin back in the jolly 2013... It still works great but one of the fans stopped spinning. I ordered replacement fans and I am now going to show you how to install them. First unscrew these 4 screws on the back. Then, unscrew the 2 small screws on the back panel. Remove the fans power plug and then separate the cooling unit from the main board. Wipe the old thermal paste with dry paper first, then wipe it some more with alcohol until its spit-shine clean. Unscrew 4 more screws to separate the fans from the radiator. One of these fans powers the led-logo, so unfortunately it will have to go. Notice how the fans are installed and wired, you will need to install the new fans exactly the same way. Unplug the cables and unscrew the old fans. Use this opportunity to thoroughly clean all the parts. Now set the new fans in place, carefully screw them in, and neatly wire them up. Don’t screw them-in, too hard as this cheap plastic can easily break. Make sure the fans spin freely before reassembly. Now all that is left is to put fresh thermal paste and assemble everything back together. I hope this video helped you. Where to buy replacement fans? https://amzn.to/38IiEd9
