The Cooler

What is that thing in the PCI slot??

Azza · 12 Dec 2009 at 21:55

BIOS saver & error code display I'm guessing.

Here are some load temp results.

CPU is overclocked to 4Ghz. Everest used to measure temp & probe is of the CPU socket.

It's a diagnostic card.

I don't really understand the change in fan design. Bigger copper core, some copper fins are both good. I thought i9 was meant to run cooler than i7 though, so a bit confused by the change in design.

Cheers for the photo

That's the word I was looking for.

Well suppose the two extra cores adds heat even if it is 32nm.

Don't understand why Intel don't team up with a 3rd party to supply decent coolers, will make everyone else work harder to make better coolers.

Did the fan honestly need the LED? Not every enthusiast/gamer wants flashing lights all over their case.

Thought Intel were changing the design to be a tower cooler? Seem to remember there being a thread showing that before :confused:

All the i7 EE chips have LED fans afaik.

That was apparently a prototype.

Looks quite lethal lol.

that fan looks dangerous!

Geek. · 13 Dec 2009 at 17:07

that fan looks dangerous!

i totally agree!

Looks exactly the same as the stock cooler for the i7 EE.

Azza · 13 Dec 2009 at 17:36

So it is my bad.

Thought they still used this one...

I'm not rich enough to own an EE to know what the stock cooler looks like.

Would have thought something more substantial would come with a £500+ CPU

Because the EU would sue them
