Intel Pentium 4 Socket 478 cpu support beyond 2.4GHz CPU operation and higher(keep checking Taisol's website for cpu suport (this cooler is so exclusive it is not even on there yet!) on this one as the sample arrived to me just before the Pentium 2.5's were available.

What's in the box:

Heatsink body, 70mm fan on clamp, backplate and (4) screws.
Installation:- With the selected Pentium 4 motherboard out of the case enclosure and faced down on a flat clean surface, insert the backplate & flip the motherboard around upright while holding the backplate by hand in place.

- Lock the plastic retention module and backplate with the four screws provided.

- Apply thermal compound of choice.
- Carefully place the heatsink by lining the four holes on the heatsink over the four posts of the retention module.

- Move both locking clamps in an upward position Line up the metal fan holder holes with the four metal posts of the backplate.
- Press down on the frame of the metal fan holder until it snaps into place on the plastic retention module.


- Press clamps downward to lock into the plastic retention module.

The Aftermath:
The CEP426152 provides a decent cooling solution as an upgrade from the already competent stock Intel HSF. The cooler fits nicely atop the CPU socket and the clamps are placed safely up and away from my Gigabyte motherboard's capacitors. Another nice thing I've noticed about this cooler is the fact that the actual positioning of the CPU on the heatsink is almost dead on centered (see picture of the CPu imprint in thermal compound).



Onward to the test!
