Of the more than 1000 "Retail" boxed Intel processors that I have bought over
the past few years, this is the first that did not come with a heatsink fan.
Seems stupid... But this is the first 6-core i7 proc that we bought, so I guess
it's new terrain.
I have an Intel i7-3930K proc. Note: IT WILL NEVER BE OVER-CLOKED! It's not
going to a 15-yearold! It will drive a high-end, high-power workstation for a
demanding client. It will be in an otherwise roomy, well ventilated case.
It didnt come with a heatsink/fan. I do have on hand an Intel OEM fan that
does seem to fit the motherboard. The copper core on it does not completely
cover the square processor surface, but my techs are telling me that "it will
work". The numbers on this fan/heatsink are E97380-001, CNDP050B40 and
DTC-CAA07. It's 12VDC @ 0.60A, made by Delta - Intel-branded.
Will this fan "work" ?
