Intel C2D Celeron 440 heatsink sucks

[VirtualLarry]

Just a word of warning for those purchasing retail-box C2D Celerons - they use a new cooler, that is HALF the size of the normal C2D coolers. Not to mention, they are all-Aluminum, no copper core.

So not so good for overclocking, unlike the normal-sized, copper-cored standard C2D stock heatsinks.

Thanks for the heads up! :beer:
