Are intel going to include a better cpu cooler with the 9th gen cpus?

[mahdikafaarani]

Considering that intel's stock cooler was throttling the i7 8700 (non k) and not allowing it to reach its full potential, intel should definitely provide a better cpu cooler with the 9th gen cpus or not include it at all and lower the price. Is there any info about this at the moment?

 

[captaincharisma]

they will probably use the same kind. intel used to include a stock cooler with their K version CPU's but they stopped because they got the idea that people were only buying them for overcl;ocking anyway

i use the stock cooler that came with my 7700 and it has not once overheated or crashed my computer so if my PC can run smoothly with one then why couldn't others?

as a general rule of thumb, corporations seek to optimize their profits, so the answer is they will ship the bare minimum to save themselves money

The cooler is getting less reliable each year as new generations are released. The cooler was insuffecient for running the i7 8700 (I don't know about the i7 7700). So this will be worse with the i7 9700. They are making consumers pay more for something that is almost useless. Maybe they should provide a better cooler or not include it at all specifically with the 9th gen i7 only (not the 9th gen i5 because I think it is still suffecient in that regard).

don't expect Intel to care about you much. they want money. as a general rule, I don't use stock coolers. ever when I build.

 

[mahdikafaarani]

Yeah, I guess I'm just expecting too much in that regard.

Probably no change, the bundled coolers are designed to keep the CPU functioning at its base clock, not its turbo clocks for extended periods. And it appears that only the"K" series chips will be soldered allowing for temp drops of 20C

 

[Peter Martin]

at least coolers are not that expensive for a good one. I mean, if you are building a monster gaming or video processing machine, yeah, splurge but for normal use, a good one is good enough for me.

 

[mahdikafaarani]

It's nice to get a good stock cooler like the ones that come with amd processors, which are also cheaper.

 

[Peter Martin]

I think AMD has to do that to compete though. If they were bigger, they could pass along the costs to you, like Intel likes to do.

I love AMD. I've always gotten the most life out of their cpus. decade of use each now

 

[mahdikafaarani]

Yeah, that's a good point. I've heard a lot of good things about amd.
