New Intel Stock Cooler Featuring Heat Pipes First Look Linus Tech Tips

A brand new stock cooler from Intel. It features more heatpipes and a bigger fan for ultimate cooling performance... Well, for a stock cooler anyway.

[PFCBarefoot]

If only Intel still made coolers like this...awesome!

[LinusTechTips]

Actually I want to test against Noctua NH-D14 in the future.

[Asimister]

wow, this quitet or perfomance mode is relly nice, but this cooler is not good for overclocking, or ?

[workshop_from_nothing]

THAT'S WHY WE OVERCLOCKS "LAP" A CPU
WHEN DONE CORRECTLY AND WITH PROPER APPLICATION OF THERMAL PASTE IT CAN DROP TEMPS BY AROUND 5c SOMETIMES MORE
IT WILL ALL SO BRING THE DIFFERENCE IN CORE TEMP TIGHTER

QUAD CORE WITH TEMPS OF 42 45 40 46 CAN LEVEL OUT TO SAY 41 42 41 40
AS THE COMPOUND IS AN EVAN COAT AND THE GAP FROM CPU TO HEAT SINK IS EQUAL AND THUS HEAT TRANS FER AT THE SAME RATE...

That is a massive upgrade. It is about time they shipped a decent one. The back plate is the best part. Those stupid plastic push pins were the worst. Everything should have thumb screws for both ease of installation and better contact.

Nevermind, this is the gulftown cooler. Thats awesome, I am so jealous, i wish I had a Core i9

[Tangylives]

@DaCapo2010 one year on and you're almost right! Except the high end intel and AMD stock cooler now cost extra. Harharhar Intel/AMD...

[XN]

seems like intel is finally making pretty decent coolers, it kinda makes me think of the arctic freezer pro

[RickArter]

About time they got there act together!

[DjArtfact]

He said that he hopes stock coolers would get better and they did get worse. Sure, Sandy didn't need a good stock cooler but you can't overclock on the stock cooler so it obviously isn't as good as a $50 cooler like he stated.

[falubii]

I believe it only comes with the Extreme Editions.

[drumsrule]

Intel should have the stock heatsink as an option to buy along with the cpu. If you want just enough to cool, get the stock heatsink with it. If you want to save cash and go for a better cooler, there should be an option to not get the stock one. (I hope somebody from intel sees

[bamsr]

nope, this heatsink only comes with extreme edition cpus.

[kif]

what camera is that? Do you have to convert the video for uploading or does it record in youtube supported format?

[salsalani]

finally somebody from intel did a job, expensive processors should come with good/acceptable coolers..

[Harley]

is this just for the gulftown or does it come with all the inter prosessors?

[mixed]

@flyingfireguy he said it .. its a evga classified

[Atheismrulez]

Wow... very good stock cooler. Should be pretty good for overclocking.

[DaCapo]

hopefully one day stock coolers will be so good that i don't need to blow an extra $50 on a heatsink anymore.
