It looks like my fan on one of my machine is about to die.
Recently, when the machine is running, the fan is very loud.
So, it may be time to replace it.

Are there any cpu heatsink/fan that's easy to install?
I don't want to have to rip everything out just to install a fan.
Thanks.
 
Is that the same as
Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro?
Closest one I found at newegg.
 
They're pretty much all not that hard to install...

Anyway it sounds like you're talking about having to take the motherboard out of the case. Even if the mounting bracket allows for that (varies with CPU socket, motherboard, possible prior modifications), you'd really do better to take the mobo out of the case and install the new heatsink with it resting on a solid surface. Less chance of damaging the board than when it's on a bunch of weak standoffs with most of its surface unsupported.
