Well i'm confused on this one. I've been waiting for two weeks for different items I'm purchasing for a build to be in stock and it's down to only one.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106061
and
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106080 10$ more.

The first one is listed as this for compatibility:
Intel P4 LGA775
P4 478 Prescott FMB1.5
AMD Athlon 64 / Athlon 64 FX
Athlon XP up to 3400+
Sempron up to 3400+

While the second one is listed as so:
Intel Core 2 Exterme(Socket LGA775)
Intel Core 2 Duo (Socket LGA775)
Intel Pentium Extreme Edition (Socket LGA 775)
Intel Pentium D (Socket LGA 775)
Intel Pentium 4 (Socket LGA775)
Intel Celeron D (Socket LGA775)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 (Socket 939, AM2)
AMD Athlon 64 FX (Socket 939, AM2)
AMD Athlon 64 (Socket 754, 939, AM2)
AMD Sempron (Socket 754, AM2)

The fan will be used with a LGA 775 e4300.

The confusion stems from the first one with 100's of reviews stating good overclocks with C2D but is listed as only compatible with Intel P4 LGA775.

Did they change the description on me? Or will it work fine. Please and thanks.

It's because the 1st one uses the regular backplate and bolt down method, while the 2nd one uses bracket hold downs.

an LGA 775 is an LGA 775. no matter what chip is in the socket. they say P4 because that was the new chip at the time and they wanted people who didnt know much about computers to realize that it would work with their "new" chip they had. Get it?

Thanks. I completely overlooked that. Just a spur of the moment freak out thread.
