New Intel Wolfdale Stock Cooler Pictured

[Steevo]

I have one of those with a new Allendale i just got, fortunately I had about 4 of the copper core coolers left and i used one of those with some AS.

The new 45nm Wolfdale Core 2 Duo E8000 CPUs have a new cooler bundled with the BOX package. As you can see below, the cooler is similar than the one found in Intel's 65nm Conroes. This move probably helps Intel trim down the manufacturing costs, but mostly comes to show one big plus of the 45nm process and that's the lower heat output.

My 4200+ I bought in early 2006 has a fan on the top and a silver hs

I found the information on heatsinks I was looking for.

So indeed minus the weight and cost copper is superior as long as you have good air flow on it.
With low airflow aluminum is better.

Note that it doesn't say alu performs better with low air flow, but that the ratio of cost-per-gain is too not worth it at low airflow.
From the PDF:

When airflow speed is below 400 linear feet per minute and/or the heat input area
is a high percentage of the heat sink base area the extra cost of copper may not be
justified.

No very true, but it answers my questions as to why like my AC Freezer has aluminum fins sheer weight....

same cooler came with my X3210 it's very good for how small it is and when I say small it is near the size of a AM2 4000+x2 stock cooler size handled my Xeon to about 3.2ghz

In any event, I'll continue to use after market coolers, and add this to my "stock cooler graveyard" Anyone overclocking really has no business using such a crappy cooler.

Unfortunately overclockers are a minority and for those who use these at stock-speeds, should they not face overheating issues, this cooler wins.
