Hello All!

The other day I bought my friends old computer and began scrapping it for parts. However, one of the first things I noticed was this curious little cooler:

It was an Asus Pre-built that came with the cooler. However, i'm curious as to how it matches up to Intel's stock ones. I imagine what happened was Asus bulk bought CPUs non-commercially and skipped out on cooling because using their own was cheaper?

Thanks!

Anything would be better than the Intel stock cooler.

They would also have got the OEM tray CPU (bulk buy) as opposed to a retail pack (includes cooler).
