the fan only works with 4-pin input, my motherboard has only 3

Is a horrible cou fan and broke my motherboard.

Multi-step process that involves taking your motherboard out of your computer (already a pain), screwing on the fan, and putting everything back in again.

I over did application and spent a few days doing my best to clean the motherboard.

I was afraid of breaking my motherboard :/

However, after having to remove the innards and entire motherboard, I found that the BRACES or brackets (pictured) to hold the Cooler to the motherboard did not fit this HP proprietary motherboard mounting holes.

You better be ready to damn near break your motherboard from the amount of force you have to apply to get it to set right

This cooler has a terrible mount that can easily damage your motherboard

I'd rather go with a d-92 lot easier and about the same cooling.
