Intel Gulftown comes with tower HSF
By Hilbert Hagedoorn, September 29, 2009 - 8:13 AM

guess even intel now ahs to admit that six CPU cores can make quite a lot of heat, especially for the consumer part. At IDF Intel showed the processor cooler for its upcoming six-core Gulftown processors.

As you can see this is a tower heatsink with four heatpipes, a large PWM fan, and a bolt-thru mounting kit instead of flimsy push-pins. It's unknown if Intel will ship this with all Gulftown processors, or only with the Extreme Edition models. Different from the previous design, the fresh cooler employs tower design with horizontal blowing for enhanced airflow, and it features four copper heatpipes.

Als, no irritating Push-pin any more. It installs with screws.

I noticed it has slots at either side of the heatsink used for keeping the fan on so I wonder if we would be able replaced the fan with aftermarket cpu cooling fan and buying those Fan Wire Clip to keep the fan on.

i'm sure it would be pretty easy if you had some wire cutters and gaffer tape!

It has slots at either side of the heatsink used to keep the fan on, so replacing the fan with aftermarket one and buying those Fan Wire Clips to keep the fan on should also work very nicely as well.
