Cooling

     What is surprising it that Intel has done away with their cheesy heatsinks and fans, and have gone with what looks like a beefy aftermarket orb style cooler. All hail the orb!

     The center of the orb is copper, which has been proven to absorb heat better. The aluminum fins then dissipate the heat which makes this cooler the best OEM cooler I have ever seen.

     Here at the Club, we do not waste your time by telling you how or why a product works. We only want to see the end results, so let's get to it!
