Intel’s distributors are advised to return existing inventory of the boxed Xeon E-2274G product and get a tray version instead.
Look at that anemic piece of shit.

I am wondering when Intel simply removes the metal from these and replaces it with this:Look at that anemic piece of shit.
Um...isn't that the same cooler my Core 2 duo X6800 came with ?

I can't tell from the picture on Anandtech, but I'm assuming this is the heatsink version without the copper core?

They are the worst cooler I've ever come across in terms of noise signature.poor things spin up to full speed just installing basic apps
For those of you remembering the coolers that came with C2Ds and old P4s, Please note: The 775 coolers had a massive copper bullet contacting the CPU making heat conductivity much better and increasing mass. The more recent intel coolers are honestly a few ounces of aluminum and a noisy fan.
The last time I used an Intel cooler was when the Pentium III came in Slot 1. After that, I bought the cheapest aftermarket cooler, for my personal builds.
And usually, you can't overclock with the "decent" included garbage either, it's just "good enough", just like Intel's.
And didn't AMD "optimize" (a short way to say you must liquid cool) the 3950 for liquid cooling AND recommended AND not included? Yeah! AMD is light-years ahead.
Intel NOT "optimizing" their CPUs for liquid cooling.........so light-years behind.
No offense, but that's an absurd argument. A 3950X doesn't have a cooler, so what? Last time I checked every "K" Intel processor had no cooler nor did anything Intel sells with more than 8 cores.
There's no reason you couldn't use the stock Intel cooler on lower end CPU's (say i5 8400 type CPUs) and below. It hasn't been until recently that Intel started pushing to the point where the power draw and heat output overcame the stock 11XX cooler they provided for stock speed operation. It might not always be the quietest, but it works for normal not stress test/benchmarking usage. Sky/Kaby Lake 4 core CPU's are much cooler at stock speeds compared to Coffee Lake 6 and 8 core parts where that "95W" number is completely irrelevant.
I don't think it's really that debatable that the AMD stock cooler is better than the Intel stock cooler. For one, AMD actually includes it where Intel doesn't, and on the low end (3600/3400g) it's comparable to the stock Intel cooler, and it only goes up from there. Would I use it? Probably not. Would I put it on my mother's computer for internet browsing and playing with facebook? Sure.
Intel was peddling these crap coolers with such processors as the i7-920. Put the CPU under any type of load and it would get close to max temp and the fan would ramp all the way to full speed.
They should have recalled them back then.
The cooler on the 970 was descent. I likely still have it somewhere.
I think I sold mine here on the forums for free + actual shipping . It looked nice, but it was only for LGA1366 and nothing else.
Heh... I modded the bracket on my Thermaltake Big Typhoon and used it on my i7-920 setup when I first moved to an x58 setup. Was good for about a 3.6Ghz overclock.
I also have low profile heatpipe cooler that came with an AMD Opteron of some sort that I modified to mount on a Slot-A Athlon.
"Only for LGA1366".. hah!

Quad-Core Xeon? Does such a thing really still exist in the Ryzen era?
Oh yea, and even in that platinum style . My inside sales team screwed up and purchased me a USC C240 with a Xeon Platinum 8156 instead of the Gold version I wanted with a bunch more cores for a lot less money. Was pretty angry, but still did the job for the traffic generator for the Cable Remote Phy lab I was making, but hey, good for the account team for wasting an extra $5k .Quad-Core Xeon?
