It's so small!

[supersunbird]

I'm installing a Core 2 Duo 3.16GHz (45nm) and the Intel heatsink is so miniscule and the CPUs got 6MB of L2 cache!

Damn, I havent built a new up to date system in a while. Things sure do change.

I'll try to load a picture later.

Upload a pic with a Presshot as well so we can see the difference

And along comes Nehalem (on the right):

Which one's the Presshot?

 

[The_Techie]

Which one's the Presshot?

I'm assuming it's the one on the left? I have the one in the middle (at the back) and the right-hand side one is Nehalem's.

what's wrong with PREC(H)OT's? Don't you like under desk heating

 

[The_Unbeliever]

Presshot's nice - in winter and the company pays for the electricity it consumes

Nehalem looks like a big bugger...


Correct spelling is Prescott, btw...

Yeah, I'm installing a Nehalem then (its the one on the left I would think). The one on the right would be the Presshot.

From what I've been able to find, this seems to be it:

Nope, the one on the right is the Nehalem's cooler (the Nehalem will only be released next month).

Well, the fan I have here heatsink is less than 2 cm thick

Seems that I'm stuck with a Prescott type cooler, then

when someone said in the title..its so small.I tried to think of what the thread was about.lol..cpu's

 

[Asha'man X]

I recently put together 3 new computers for work, and the first thing that struck me when I took out the cooler and CPU from the box, was that the cooler has gone on a big diet.

Compared to the sinks of P4's, Pentium D's and earlier Core 2's, these things looked positively anorexic lol. I'm not honestly sure how good they actually work, since the Core 2 E4600's they are cooling seem to be a little too warm at idle for my liking.
