Can you use a Celeron 478 Heat Sink with a Pentium 4? The one they sent me is too big for my motherboard... :(

Of course, but what motherboard is it?
 
Gateway E2000, the retention mechanism doesn't reach up high enough to grasp the clasps on the heat sink/fan. It's making me mad, so I just put in the Celeron again...
 
The Pentium 4 and Celeron are identical, you should be able to put the original heatsink back on.... :confused:
 
What about the fan, is it strong enough for the Pentium 4? Just asking, I'm being cautious...

Depends on the speed, if it's a prescott, hell no.
If it's a northwood, it's likely.
