Heatsink
Included with the CPU cooler are different clips, which make it compatible with Intel's P4 and AMD's K7 and K8.
Installation
Installation uses a strong clip-on mechanism and is easy to do. The only tricky part is getting the second clip on while not moving the heatsink around on the CPU.

| 8.0 | This kit is a nice all-around package for the basic user and seasoned overclocker at a good price. The die-hard overclocker definitely wants to pick components one-by-one, so this kit does not make too much sense for this user group.The best part of this package is without any doubt the PSU. |
