In Figure 9, you see the fan. It has a four-pin connector, making it compatible with PWM speed control.
Figure 7: Fan
The fan is attached to the heatsink using two wire clips. In Figure 8, you can take a look at the cooler with the fan in place. It comes with an extra pair of clips, so you can install a second fan (not included).
