What does everyone do w/ their stock cooler?

[samk]

Throw it away? Leave it in the box? Convert it for some other use?

Mine are in the boxes. I used to tell myself they were backups in case the after-market cooler dies. I guess you could sell them at the recycle places.

^ pretty much the same they are in the box they came with.

In the closet. I keep telling myself I am going to use them for something one day.

I actually used mine until I got my Hyper 212. Its currently in box/closet as I just moved my wife off of S939 and only S775. I might upgrade her stock cooler with mine as its slightly better, or just sell on CL for $5.

Mine is in the box, no reason to throw it away because the aftermarket one that is in use might fail eventually.
Backup cooler.

Keep it in the Box in case the CPU gets resold when prices on better CPUs drop !!

I am using water cooling so if I ever throw this CPU at my other crappy computers, it would have a heatsink to run at stock speeds lol.
