Removing four small screws, it is possible to remove the fan frame. Notice that, inside the frame, there is a small PCB containing some LEDs that lit the AMD logo, which is only visible when the cooler is turned on.

Figure 9 shows the fan, made by Delta, model QFR0912H. It is a 92 mm fan, 25.4 mm high, with 3.84 W, 60,47 cfm, and 37 dBA.

Figure 11 shows the AMD logo lit. It should be a nice touch to the cooler, but it is so dim and it so badly placed (it stands facing the memory modules) that, even with a side window on your case, it will possibly be not visible from outside the case.
