Just got screwed over by Intel....

[the_tyrant]

My new computer parts came in, all is good, until i read to the side of the box.
it says:"For information regarding heat sinks please visit intel.com/go/thermal"

the web page said:

To offer more purchasing flexibility and reduce waste and cost for customers with other sources for heat sinks, the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series no longer includes a heat sink in the box. The boxed Intel® Thermal Solution STS100 series is available through the same distributors and offers the same three-year limited warranty as boxed processors.

Also, it seems like its just for screwing with us high end users, because the webpage also says:
"The Intel® Xeon® processor 3500 series includes a heat sink for single-socket systems in the box."

if only I was cheaper, and i spent less money on a cheaper processor I could have gotten a heat sink

Why didn't newegg just say that no heat sink was included!!!! After all, after spending $500 on a CPU they should at least tell us no heat sink is included.
