Review for user Neoteknik from hkklife

    Intel P4 Prescott 2.4A

    hkklife was the Seller on September 9, 2004 AnandTech

    Item took a great deal longer to arrive (he said it would go out 2-day) than originally anticipated but I won't hold that against Christopher b/c it was shipped via the USPS.

    While there are apparently no issues with the CPU (I am not able to test it now, just inspect the pins for physical damage), I was disappointed to see the renention brackets were missing from the Intel OEM fan. In addition, one of the brackets holding the fan onto the heatsink was broken off and rattling around in the plastic shell so the stock fan would be pretty much useless even if it had the clips.

    A good price on a good CPU but I wish he had notified me ahead of time that I was going to need to buy another HSF ahead of time as the thread description made it sound like everything was in perfect condition. Or knocking a few $ off of the asking price would have been sufficient as well.

    I was looking for a quick turn-around as soon as I received the CPU as it's going into a machine for someone else for a time-crucial job but now I'm stuck waiting on a replacement Vantec to arrive in the mail and cannot use the CPU without cooling.
