I know it may really surprise a lot of people, but when someone buys a retail boxed CPU, there's also this big chunk of metal with a little patch of goop or sometimes a square, grayish pad on it. Frequently, there's also a black, multi-bladed thing that has some wires sticking out of it. It's actually not just ballast to keep the box properly balanced during shipping. You can stick that thing on top of the CPU to keep it cool. It makes buying another cooler kinda pointless.
 
Soo its this a sign that Skylake is definitely announced august 5th?

I'm really hoping for a summer release.

Upgrading wanted!
 
The prices on DDR4 don't look right:

Try to find a dual channel DDR4 Dominator Platinum kit or single sticks.

More like "It keeps it less hot, than it would with no heatsink at all, but still gets hot enough to throttle the CPU at stock clocks, oh and it's very noisy, and dumps all of its heat into the case where other components are.

I'd like to see you get to 5Ghz with a boxed cooler :p
 
Corsair is a great company. I have rarely see a company back up-their products to the point they do. Their warranties are fantastic, and their interactions with users on their forum is great.

Only criticism I will give them is that if Link is any indication, they don't seem to know how to manage a software product.

Assuming you are referring to the ones that do come with stock cooler, they are often just good enough to keep the CPU functional. 3rd party cooler offer additional benefits such as better cooling capacity which can either be used to allow overclocking, or quieter operation.

Another advantage I like with AIO cooler is that it allows me to set the radiator fans to exhaust and that means the hot air always flowing out of the casing and not affect the other components inside.

No CPU runs at 5Ghz anyway unless you're going for pointlessly silly overclocking that yields no useful benefit. Also, the t-junction on most CPUs is somewhere between 95 and 100 degrees C. They throttle around there to keep operating safely and, as far as I know, if you put your computer together properly to begin with, it should have no problems staying below that temperature on the thing-y that comes in the box. Anything below that is pretty much an academic exercise anyhow.

Good enough to keep the CPU functional and under a warranty for the duration of its useful life even. Intel wouldn't supply that warranty unless the company had confidence in the heatsink they included under a variety of adverse conditions. What more than "functional" do you want out of a computer? Functional and ten degrees cooler? So what? It's still working fine either way. Overclocking is pretty pointless anyhow since it adds not enough to be worth the cost, effort, and time.

Anyway, if you're worried about the heat in your computer case from the difference between a heatsink thing-y that came in a box or one that puts it next to a fan outlet, you probably didn't build your computer properly to begin with and something else is clearly wrong when that difference impacts the operation of the system. Personally, I've NEVER had that problem and neither do the many millions of HP, Dell, Packard Bell, NEC, IBM, Micron, etc companies out there that have made a lot more computers than anyone on this forum has built.
