Is this STOCK SB cooling?

[Anomaly1964]

Just saw this HERE, is this what the stock heat sink and fan will be?

If so, is it as good as after market heat sinks?

 

[jimhsu]

Only for the K models. The fan is 92mm by the way.

 

[Castiel]

Am i seeing 4 heatpipes on that cooler?

But K is the model we want for gaming...right?

(Yes, still NEWBing it up here, TRYING to learn more..)

2500K is going to be THE chip for gaming.

No. That's 980X's. This is SB (left):

Impressive, isn't it?

Looks pretty decent. I may not even bother with a non-stock cooler if we are getting that on K chips. If that can get me to 4.5 with decent temps then that will do.

That cooler is sick for stock cooling, basically looks exactly as an AC Freezer Pro7

2500K is THE chip

its not the fan thats bad its those crappy plastic push pins, I would never trust those pieces of crap. Its sad that intel wont even provide their customers with 4 screws for their cpu's.

Well the stock cooler on my Core i7 860 can't even keep that processor below 95*C at load at 2.93ghz....so I wouldn't even bother using any stock intel cooler. Sure it might cool the processor, but it won't be quiet or deliver reasonable temperatures with overclocking.

With Corsair A50 for $17.50 for example, there is really no reason to stick with the stock cooler.

 

[Patrick Wolf]

Anand should've mentioned that HSF pictured isn't stock. Intel sent it to reviewers for overclocking. See here.

How on earth some of you would think Intel would be that generous is beyond me. It's a $216 CPU, you're not getting a free tower cooler with it. Not everyone will overclock a 2500K.

But like Russian said, you can do much better than stock for relatively little money.

 

[llee]

why are they crappy? they work well for my greasy fingers

Push pins work fine for lighter coolers if you know how to install them.

pretty smart of Intel to include that for these prelim reviews.

 

[Patrick Wolf]

Hmm, you can buy that exact cooler though.

For $50 you can have a Megahalems!!

So....when Anand and co are talking about 4.5 on "stock"...which cooler are they talking about?

 

[Spikesoldier]

i figure intel would give that cooler to the extreme line like the 980x, definitely not for any chip.

that pic with the sandy bridge heatsink next to the intel 2010 heatsink, now that picture tells us the difference in the power and heat savings we get in sandy bridge coming from 2010's lineup.

and also, i thought the K series CPUs do not come with a heatsink at all? are they changing this up for the sandy bridge launch?

i saw the heatsink on anand's review and they said 4.4 on that dinky thing.

 

[Patrick Wolf]

Then he says, "With a bit more effort and a better cooler, you can get anywhere in the 4.6-5.0GHz range:"

Though in Ian's ASRock review he arrived at 4.6GHz for a 24/7 OC w/ the H50? Doesn't sound so great, but that was probably a limitation of his unwillingness to push the vcore.

Freakin' amazing. 32nm looks like the bomb. I wonder what results others are getting with it... off to look...

That cooler barely cooled my Q8200 at 2.33ghz, .97V. To think it cools a new quad at 4.4ghz is flippin CRAZY!!!

They're not necessarily the same. The cooler that comes with a 2500 has a copper slug in the base, whereas the one that came with the E8400 did not. They are about the same size though, so it's still impressive.

Regarding the Intel tower cooler, silentpcreview found it obnoxiously noisy at speed.

The HSF that came with my Q8200 also has the copper "slug" in the middle. A circular copper base. For sure it's the same cooler.

 

[Anomaly1964]

OH well, thanks for clearing that up fellas...

So I guess when I build my new SB, I WILL need to purchase a heat sink as well..
