Manufacturer description

This is a low profile heatsink designed to cover the surface of a Pentium Pro CPU. It comes with a metal retention clip. A 50mm fan was attached to the top of the heatsink using some thick screws, originally sourced from a Socket 7 cooler. The fan uses a standard 4 pin Molex connector and includes a passthrough for another device. The fan has been tested and is working. This heatsink will be shipped in a bubble mailer. It is being sold as is with no returns accepted. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks for your consideration!
