I still have one left over from my E6750 that I never used because I just went with aftermarket right away, and that one looks to be hands down the better cooler compared to the one that came with the E7200 (its the big one that has the copper bottom). I am just wondering weather the switched the rest of the 45nm CPUs over the the small heatsink aswell. |
They did and it works very well.
I had my 8400 upto 3.8ghz before the stock cooler met its thermal limits.
