Identify this heatsink/fan

yeah i was thinking that too, however i remember some P4's on S478 used simular holes too no?
 
It looks like a Socket A or Socket 754/939 HSF from a PC Chips motherboard. The ones that were "intergrated" and had a warranty void sticker across the CPU and ZIP lever.
 
The 4 little round things on the bottom of the heatsink would make that a socket A unit. 754/939 didn't use those.

Socket A has clips that grab onto the CPU socket. This has holes for screws. The holes are parallel to the board (socket A's clips are perpendicular).

As someone already stated, this HS is from one the the PC Chips boards. I never have used the PC Chip boards, but the only thing I ever seen use the 4 little round things are a Socket A CPU.
