After seeing the other two less-than-complete (or even accurate) answers, I thought I'd chime in here. While I'm not 100% certain whether you can change the fans, it's worth noting that this model routes the fan cables *inside* the sleeve for the liquid tubing. So if you do change the fans out, you might end up with some cable ends dangling. Of course, you may end up needing to control other fans with other software (which indeed might be one of the reasons to do so in the first place so you don't need MSI's bloatware). One of the answers here said that there's no point in swapping out fans on an AIO because they will perform worse. This is 100% false. I've had many AIO's come with fans that aren't good radiator fans and that would perform better with other static pressure fans. I regularly swap in Corsair fans for those included in AIO's.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will need to find out what the cord plug type is. I changed fans on my MSI SeaHawk 2080Ti and the plug was a special GPU power plug which you can get adapters for on Amazon, but when you do this, the unit may not recognize the new fans and you'll need to use a program to set up the fan profile outside of the card managing the fan. Easy to do, but the fans on this MSI are pretty good as-is.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You would not buy this model to change the fans. This is liquid cooled, changing fans would probably only make it perform worse. Get a base model like the Founders Edition if you want to do that, although even the base models of this generation probably have better stock cooling than a custom fan set up.
