    I think the OP is looking for a replacement fan only not a heatsink with fan.

    Otherwise the above is a good upgrade.

    Try emailing hitide for the one you need

    It is extremely unlikely the CPU cooler is glued on to the CPU if this is a normal PC system. Any sort of resistance you are getting to removing the CPU cooler is more than likely the thermal paste which is not a glue but may have solidified.

    When you lift off the clips holding the CPU cooler to the CPU socket just gently pull on it and it should come off, the CPU cannot be removed from the socket by doing this as you must push the lever at the side to release it.
