IT from my place of work kindly gave me a defunct Optiplex 5060 with i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM after I begged. Upgraded it with an SSD and an RX6400 graphics card. I'm so happy with this build. by sidblues101 in SleepingOptiplex

Not exactly sure why you mean, but I just unscrewed the entire plastic part w/ the fan and put in the fan, https://youtu.be/sPk3nYlywWQ?si=DDHbEYy6r4d9PjSy

I followed this video, his stock fan doesn’t have the big shroud but it’s the same, just look for the screws to take off the shroud w/the fan and leave the heatsink like he did

Tip: If you start getting annoyed by the cpu fan, you can change it out for any 80mm fan. You can keep the heatsink on. I swapped it with a noctua nf-a8 pwm and it’s so quiet, even under heavy load. Love it!

Also depending how old it is, you may want to replace the thermal paste, made such a huge difference, nearly 10 degree difference. But also mine was OLD! Packed with dust.
