Is that a strap with a buckle holding it on?
No that's a regular clip for mounting the cooler onto the cpu, it clips around those black things around the socket. That's been the standard for decades and only recently has it gotten less common. I think the cooler is screwed onto the case with woodscrews directly into the plastic of the fan.
