When you purchase a boxed CPU with a cooler, the cooler is usually the one with a blend of cooling performance and low noise level. Which of the units that you see in the charts would be a good unit for the manufacturer to include?

One that will allow you to overclock. Stock coolers sometimes are very loud and offer bad cooling performance.

Hi :)

The third requirement for a manufacturer you missed is REASONABLE cost....

That means it WILL work and WILL be reasonably quiet , but thats all.... NOT intended for overclocking...

All the best Brett :)

I don't know, but, Steve Peterson sounds too familiar.
One of the IBM guys....hmmmm

Personally, IMO, when I purchase a boxed CPU Cooler Combo, I expect it to keep the CPU from overheating at all times. Since OC'ing it voids the warranty, that doesn't count.
And I think this is what the company aims at too.

What I would like is a different story, Noiseless , Efficient, Attractive, easy to install & Service. And last but not least, make the package look like it's worth the amount of money spent on it. Not just a Ice Cream Box.... Give it a little bit of DIY stuff inside, make it fun to assemble and dis assemble..., leave the TIM off, let the consumer do it or choose a better TIM if he wanted to.
