Hm, nice that Intel has finally seen fit to do something about their miserable array of clunky coolers... looks nice and probably performs similarly to a Zalman 7700AlCu CNPS cooler since neither offers heatpipes. I assume the P/Q switch is Performance/Quiet modes.

Maybe they'll deem it a worthwhile addition to more than the Extreme processors, which I doubt anyone that has oppened their computer case would be using a non-heatpipped cooler on anyway.

I have been using Stock Intel Heatsink from the very beginning on every platform. I stopped using Intel completely after Prescott and back with S775 65nm. The new heatsink will do me fine. Can't wait to get one.
