Original i7-3770K Heatsink?

[nicky9499]

Hi guys,

I bought a used 3770K recently, and this was the heatsink it came with.



Prior to this the most powerful chips I've handled are only 3570Ks so I don't know what the i7 heatsinks are supposed to be like. A quick search turns up several other designs such as this, among others:



I don't see the heatsink I have in the search. Did he give me a 1155 HSF from another processor and should I confront him?

TIA. :/

Original heatsink for sai use sia

All my computers are 1155. I could use it to replace my other non-K HSFs. The point is if I paid for an i7 and the seller gave an i5 or Pentium package then we have a problem.

I'm asking a simple question, whatever sai use I have is none of your business, please bring your smart ass remarks to EDMW, thank you.

Honestly, if you use 3770k don't know why you want to use stock also... Might well use aftermarket. If not just go for 3770.

Confront confront lorh, just don't be angry if he chooses to ignore you. Should have done your research before hand.

The heatsink seems to be removed fron the fan shroud? Damaged alrdy i presumed? In any case, an intel heatsink costs ard $10 nia in sls. 3570k and 3770k uses the same lga1155 platform, so if u still gt the heatsink from ur 3570k, can reuse.

Also, if u r gonna OC, go get a better cooler like aio or D14/15 heatsink.

Lastly, just ignore goodshot, he is a troll. Words from him to be taken with an ocean of salt.

Hi guys, thanks for the comeback. As explained before, I have 2 other "light duty" PCs, if the i7 heatsink is bigger than the ones they have (i3 abd G2030) then I can swap them out. I'm not saying I'm going to run the i7k on the stock cooler.

The heatsink and fan were held together by two plastic clips, easily taken apart for cleaning. Not a problem there.

looks the same..

If your i5 cooler cools better than this one then confront him lor.

I'm bad with HSF knowledge and I can't predict how they will perform based on looks alone. But many heatsinks even if they look almost alike actually perform quite differently. Even the Intel radial stock cooler has differences, some got one fin, some got 2 mini fins, some got 3 mini fins. Some more fins than others. Some fins curved others straight.

Which is why I'm asking, cause maybe (probably) the stock heatsinks vary by region. Some unboxings show a square base etc.

The serial number string on the stock cooler fan should match the one on the packaging box. This is required for RMA. IIRC...

All the Core i series coolers will have copper core base instead of aluminium on Pentium & Celeron series..

Good to know. Luckily, I kept the entire packaging.
