    HI! ALL multiple socket hsf specially for p4 and amd 64 are meant to be seateat using that black square also check on asus webpage for compatibility.

    the fan comes with anything you need to install it no need for extra hardware.

    and you must remove the mobo out of the case to do it

    With my ASUS mobo, I flash in Windows, each time an update comes out. I have never had a problem.
