Rumor: Intel Skylake K series CPUs won't come with a stock cooler - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Tmaxx;48062001]what the fuck, is your computer a nuclear reactor? That thing is monstrous.[/QUOTE] It's quiet and cool as fuck though. The fins fit a 120mm fan(s) perfectly.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;48064538]Are LEDs on computers turning into the equivalent of ricer cars? :v:[/QUOTE] Here's the official guide. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/uHvCK.jpg[/IMG]

Am I the only one who is using the stock cooler with a K CPU and is satisfied? It never gets warm or loud for me.

The important question here is, will they actually reduce the retail price of those CPUs by ~10€ or will it just drive Intel's profit margins a bit higher?

Noctua cpu cooler master race

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;48066558]ok how high is your vcore and multiplier[/QUOTE] I'm obviously not going to overclock with a stock cooler, and I have frankly never needed to do so. Perhaps the requirement of a separate cooler with Skylake will add an extra reason to consider overclocking, so I don't mind this change.

[QUOTE=Superwafflez;48066668]Noctua cpu cooler master race[/QUOTE] Nah, EK/XSPC master race.

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;48067794]but I don't understand, why would you pay the premium for a K chip and a K mobo to not overclock?[/QUOTE] I grabbed them both when they were on sale, it was very cheap.

[QUOTE=Superwafflez;48066668]Noctua cpu cooler master race[/QUOTE] Noctua Coolers are so-and-so. They have high quality fans though, but they're all 'cream white & shit brown' color themed, what's wrong with black?.

What's the bet they get rid of the cooler and the price stays ridiculous

[QUOTE=Tasm;48070474]What's the bet they get rid of the cooler and the price stays ridiculous[/QUOTE] The coolers themselves cost under 20$ to mass produce.

Now all they need to do is stop using terrible cheapo grade thermal paste that isn't even applied correctly under the lids.

[QUOTE=Superwafflez;48066668]Noctua cpu cooler master race[/QUOTE] I'd get them if they weren't ugly as sin. They look like a 90s era white PC that's been in a smoker's cigar room the past 20 years.

[QUOTE=Reagy;48071536]Now all they need to do is stop using terrible cheapo grade thermal paste that isn't even applied correctly under the lids.[/QUOTE] The TIM isn't the problem, it's the uneven glue used to secure the lids to the processor

[QUOTE=Forumaster;48072074]I'd get them if they weren't ugly as sin. They look like a 90s era white PC that's been in a smoker's cigar room the past 20 years.[/QUOTE] Looked at some pics and holy shit, I'd only use these if I had a closed casket PC.

[QUOTE=Van-man;48070438]Noctua Coolers are so-and-so. They have high quality fans though, but they're all 'cream white & shit brown' color themed, what's wrong with black?.[/QUOTE] They are some of the top performing air coolers though

[QUOTE=Kljunas;48073341]I don't know about you but I don't really care what the inside of my PC looks like.[/QUOTE] Neither do it, but I still need fans at the rear of my computer, and I slice away that restrictive perforated steel that's a horrible excuse for a fanguard in exchange for one of these: [IMG]http://s29.postimg.org/913eo1e13/41ya3aj_Yjc_L.jpg[/IMG] And then the turd brown fanblades stick out like a sore thumb.

They do have black ones now though? They've already got a couple models and are rolling out more in black/grey. But I generally don't bother with expensive high airflow fans. My fan budget is for nice static pressure ones.

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;48067794]but I don't understand, why would you pay the premium for a K chip and a K mobo to not overclock?[/QUOTE] There's basically no price difference between non-K and K processors, and you can find fairly cheap Z97/current chipset motherboards. I also only overclock when things become too advanced for the processor, I find it completely pointless to overclock if I won't notice any difference anyway

I'm just dumbfounded by the fact that in a area where visual design has such a big importance that they still went with cream white frame and brown blades, it's the worst color choices from the 80's combined.

I picked up some noiseblocker eloop ones for my new radiators. [editline]28th June 2015[/editline] $100 for the 6 though, and I might pick up 6 more for push/pull config

I use the stock cooler on my 3570 because the cooler master evo doesn't fit in my case because its so fucking big so I think this is a stupid move.

Then look at compatibility before you buy a cooler?
