Introduction
Follow this guide to replace your broken fans in your Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6800 XT SE graphics card.
This graphics card uses 3mm JIS000 screws but you can use a Phillips screw driver as an alternative.
Note: This guide also works for the entire Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6000 series with a couple exceptions:
- The RX 6650 XT, RX 6750 XT, and RX 6950 XT Pure have a different blade design but the entire replacement process is the same.
- Only the RX 6800 XT SE, RX 6900 XT SE, RX 6950 XT, and RX 6950 XT Pure supports ARGB while the rest of the series does not.
