Yeah, you are right. When I bought it I only looked at this thing long enough to put it in the junk box. I have not decided on what heatsink I want for the E8400 but when I do I will post a side by each picture.
In defense of the POS heatsink it is working fine for me. My CPU is very cool under normal load. Sure, the enthusiast should replace it but it is fine for a pedestrian machine.
I have to replace mine because it generates some high frequency noise that most people probably can not hear but bugs the crap out of me.
