Intel Revises Heatsink Design For Desktop, Xeon CPUs

The new design probably saves them 1¢ each by using slightly less metal. When they ship millions of these over the next few years it adds up to big bucks.

[citation][nom]mavikt[/nom]Who uses them? I have two unused Intel stock coolers sitting here at home, any takers? When you buy a processor, this is probably the most costly thing in the box, in terms of material and shipping. It's the heaviest and most spacious thing in the box. When I'm buying an Intel processor, I'm buying their know-how in processor design. I'm not shopping for their "splendid" stock coolers (although I'm sure they get the job done). I'd say, separate them from shipping with the processor and subject them to the free market![/citation]

I use them. And I'm sure 99% of Intel's & AMD's customers do aswell.

Fun fact. The article isn't just about K processors.

Fun fact. People buying a G600 don't typically invest 100% of the CPU cost in a HSF.

Fun fact. These coolers allow SB K's to stable OC to 4-4.2ghz.

if you cant fit them correctly your an idiot

there is nothing wrong with the design it works 100% you just dont know how to i suggest the old saying "RTFM"

A bit sensitive on the design. You design it?

Its all good. It works, but could be better.
