Applications

Socket A heatsinks were used in consumer-grade AMD computer systems from the late 1990s through early 2000s. Socket A (also called Socket 462) was AMD's standard processor socket for the Athlon and Athlon XP generations, as well as for budget Duron processors. The low-profile aluminum design accommodates standard desktop PC cases and fits within the height constraints typical of that era. These coolers remain in use today for system maintenance, repairs, and retro computing builds involving original Socket A hardware. The 3-pin fan connector is the standard voltage-regulated connection type for that generation of motherboards and processors.
