Well who need their heatsink anyway? I never used stock heatsink last 10 years. -
It makes sense, enthusiasts will want their own cooling.Last edited by Duke{CLR}; 16 Aug 2011, 02:06 PM.[img]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4373/35734799443_53cb20ef13_z.jpg[/img]

Makes sense to me. SHould allow them to lower the price by a few bucks, too.[url=http://www.enjin.com/bf3-signature-generator][img]http://sigs.enjin.com/sig-bf3/1fad512dc784c11c.png[/img][/url]Comment

The heatsinks they come with suck. Plain and simple. Better to go with an after market cooler.We work in the dark, to serve the light. We are Assassins.

In addition it increases Intels profit margin. So a wise step.Please like [url=https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pocket-Radio-Player/158555257511382/][B]Pocket Radio Player[/B][/url] on Facebook to support this little Freeware app.Comment

Is this the CPU I want for my new PC?Comment

If you have the cash and are willing to wait for it, it will probably give you the most performance and longevity.[url=http://www.enjin.com/bf3-signature-generator][img]http://sigs.enjin.com/sig-bf3/1fad512dc784c11c.png[/img][/url]Comment

I paid almost top dollar for my 1366 rig, it will be two years old when I load BF3 on it and I think it will handle it quite nicely and therefor well worth the investment.

Ya I heard the E series is going to be pretty good. But I heard it draws so much heat that even liquid cooling cant keep it at safe temperatures. Thats just what I heard.We work in the dark, to serve the light. We are Assassins.

This would make it a hard sell, a CPU that can't maintain a safe temperature.Originally posted by TheSilentAssassin View Post

You can't send a CPU over without a CPU cooler. There has got to be an idiot somewhere that would put in a CPU and not use a heatsink... then sue. No matter how bad their heatsinks are they still save you from core meltdown.Comment

Well thats why there is a warning in the box somewhere that says something like "Do Not Attempt to Operate This CPU without Proper Cooling Device".
E is the enthusiast class so its going to be top dog on tech and heat. But I cant see it putting out so much heat that a decent air system cant keep up. They say they are goin to stay within i think its the 130 watt range, which CPU's have been in that range for years.Comment
