stock heatsink pics

Stock copper intel heatsink comes in retail box 3ghz and up.
Any thing lower is just the normal stock heatsink.
 
there is another retail hsf that intel uses also. it came in my 3.0C box, but i noticed they changed back to the 3.06 retail hsf (the one in the link) for my 3.2C

i am not sure what i did with that other heatsink...but it sucked anyways. it had a cylindrical copper core that ran through the middle of the heatsink onto the IHS. However the copper core, didn't cover the entire IHS, and it was the only thing in contact with the cpu. so i would say maybe about 15% of the area is wasted because of that.
 
For a stock HSF, it's a pretty good one. I have my 2.4C running at 3.4GHz. I increased the voltage a bit on the chip to make it more stable and it's running 24/7 crunching F@H.
