Default Swapping a cooler fan

Hi all - I recently upgraded my asus m2n68 motherboard with a Phenom 2
x4 955 cpu - a decent step up from the original Athlon 64x2 2.7Ghz.

Everything runs great - but the supplied cooler for the Phenom has a
really noisy fan.

Any reason I can't swap just the fan, leaving the heatsink in place?
They look about the same size...?


You'll have to remove the heatsink to remove its fan anyways. Why not
just get a full heatsink/fan combo?
