Buy a $1000 heatsink and get a free Core i7-980X
The Intel DBX-B CPU Cooler
is the heatsink that comes with the six core Intel Core i7-980X, and Hardware Secrets was asked to see just how well this heatsink works. It uses a 100mm transparent fan, a little smaller than most high end heatsinks and allows you to adjust the speed between Performance and Quiet. The only way to get this heatsink is to buy the 980X but from the results of the testing not only will you enjoy good temperatures you can even overclock using this stock heatsink.
