Intel to bundle Liquid Cooling with Retail Sandy Bridge-E Processors?

At a recent Intel Developer Forum 2011 conference held in Beijing China, Benjamin Gould (Applications Engineer) and Dan Ragland (Staff Hardware Engineer) discussed past, present and the future of overclocking. While their focus relied on truly impressive overclocking capabilities of Sandy Bridge processors for both desktops and notebooks, one slide caught our attention.

I guess that settles it: no 8 core SB at launch.

I'm all for them trying to improve the quality of the standard HSF because they perform like crap, but does it really make sense to bundle a watercooler with the highest end stuff? I sort of get it, if you're paying $1k+ for a top end CPU you deserve the best quality with bundled goodies and a lifetime supply of bacon to go with it. Then again, if you're spending $1k on one component of your system you most likely have a cooling solution in mind that is far superior to a $60 H50.

I'd imagine most of the time the stock cooler in the >$500 CPU market might get used for initial testing to make sure it works then gets tossed aside for something better. Just seems like that would be a waste of money on Intel's part unless they are getting them for the same cost as a normal HSF.

I wish there were going to be SBs that are compatible with 1366, would have been a nice upgrade.
 
This will probably end up just like SB did, when the reviewers got those tower coolers and everyone thought that was going to be the new retail cooler, and then it wasn't.

this reminded me when Francios Piednoel was answering questions online from the different forums. He answered a lot of questions and someone asked him. IF YOU CAN DESIGN SUCH A GOOD PROCESSOR, WHY CAN'T YOU DESIGN A HEAT-SINK THAT FITS ELEGANTLY INTO A MOTHERBOARD AND WHICH DOESN'T TRY AND CUT ALL YOUR FINGERS OFF!
strangely Francios didn't answer that one lol
 
I know Intel looked into water cooling using micro-channels etched directly onto the CPU die a few years ago, maybe we will all be shocked that this exotic solution is being implemented :D
