The retail box also contains a standard Intel  i7 CPU fan. very nice for normal use but this CPU deserves much better and for stressing it to the max it is not recommended to use the boxed version that comes with it because it just cannot handle the heat. And what I learned from this is that a retail boxed CPU fan can not only cool your system, but it can even fly..... Straight into the garbage bin! :p

Using the CPU fan from the box version = Epic Fail

Mounting it can only be done in one way, but make sure to use a anti-static strap or gloves. The last thing you want is to give this small thing a little static shock and blow up nearly 1000 bucks.

Blessed be the heart of the machine spirit
