A 120mm speed-controllable fan is snapped on the assembly by means of two wire braces.

The fan is unusual, by the way. It features “Hypro Bearing” technology which, according to the manufacturer, ensures long service and quiet operation of the fan. The cooler’s heatsink is symmetrically designed. In other words, you can attach the fan on either of the two sides intended for it.

The box contains:

• Shogun Heatlane cooler
• Brackets for fastening the heatsink on Socket LGA775 and Socket 478
• Metal bracket for fastening the heatsink on Socket 754/939/940

• Two long spring-loaded screws to put the heatsink on Socket 754/939/940
• Power cables
• 1 gram of silicone-based thermal paste
• Installation manual
