Hey! It's a genuine
Intel cooler!
No seriously, that was my initial thought as well.
But it's actually 1½ times larger than the "normal" Intel coolers and as these normally runs very silent, I wanted to give it a try.
It
is doing a very fine job.
Until the new case arrives, I've removed the lid of the case and temps are much better now.
Cpu max. 60 and Gpu max 70 degree... even after a couple of hours SH IV.
Also agree on the thermal tape - but once settled in, they too works well.
And they ensures a thermal contact to the heatsink for all components, even the ones that may be a bit "mis-aligned".
Gotta love those weekend-working internet stores! Case should arrive tomorrow!
