I bought this cooler a few years back and have had it running an overclocked C2D E6300 and now a stock E8400. It cools the E8400 to about 128f under load and idles at 99f. Ambient temp in the room where the PC is, generally is about 75f.

I'm trying to figure out if this CPU cooler will be adequate for a stock i5 3570, but I can't remember who made it.

It's got a 92mm fan that is held in place with rubber stakes to a plastic shroud that clips to the edges of the heatsink. It has an Antec fan on it, but I'm sure it's not an Antec cooler.

Anybody know what it is?

Edit: It's hard to tell in the picture, but the only raised part are the two upper arms. The lower section actually directly contacts the CPU. It uses screws to mount and not push pins.

It looks bulky enough that it would cool a stock i5 just fine. The stock cooler is good enough and it doesn't even have heatpipes.

However, you won't be able to install it on an LGA1155 motherboard without an appropriate mounting kit.

Why don't you just use the stock cooler for the i5-3570?

This one's a lot quieter than the stock C2D cooler. I may as well just use the stock i5 one though, I didn't think about the different mounting positions.

the new intel stock cooler is completely silent; if you don't overclock (and you won't, since it's not a K chip) there's no reason to use anything else.
