i have the stock cooler with the i7 930 that i don`t use what can i do with it

i have got the oc'ed bundle that is in my sig setup, but had the stock cooler that came with the i7 930.

now i have a question, can i sell it or is it worthless ?

if to sell how much should i sell for as i`m not bothered about keeping it, and it is taking up space.
it is all in the original intel box minus the process {of course which is in my pc}.

don`t know if i can take it to a scrappy lol

Can we sell them back to Intel? Perhaps OCUK could look into this as a source of revenue - my fees would only be 5% of the profit

yeah as not many people will have a use for a stock cooler if they have a better cooler.

can`t see myself buying an oem cpu just to use a stock cooler for it.

maybe oc can use an option not to send the stock cooler in their oc bundle to save money for the customer as well as on the packing side of things.

my stock cooler is not exactly a nice looking ornament on the computer desk or under the window (!)

My bundle came with OEM cpu already installed. No stock cooler.

Just save it as a spare and no you can not sell it back to intel.

If not just throw it lol.

Wait till you have access to the MM and then punt it on there. I have sold a couple of stock AMD coolers I did not need on there before.

I've seen independent retailers with bargain bins full of the damn things. They really are worthless. Keep it for an emergency spare and to be sold with the cpu one day. Sell the other heatsink separately.

MM ? what is that

Keep it and the box for when you come to sell the cpu on. Boxed complete packages always fetch more money.

ahh right thanks... guess i have to wait a while to get access to that.

I see most sold on the bay with the obvious title trickery into making people think they'll get the cpu with it.
