I have an old Pentium 4, and the fan on the heatsink is dying. I am trying to find a replacement heatsink with fan, and I am a little concerned about how these things mount on the motherboard.
From what I have seen different heatsinks have different mounting types. The particular heatsink I am looking at is the following one:

However, the current heatsink I have on my cpu is similar to this:

Can the mounting type be replaced on the board, or is there something else already in place? Or do I have to buy a heatsink which has the same kind of clip on mounting?
