Intel Core i7-2600K CPU/Microprocessor - Unboxing by www.geekshive.com

Pro Tip: Don't bother with the stock Intel Fan/Heatsink, especially if you are going to overclock. Get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo or similar. To be clear, do NOT use the stock Intel Fan/Heatsink at all if you are overclocking. It will not work.

@MikeRoePhonicsMusic I noticed if you have a full tower with EXTREMELY good airflow likr the ANTEC 1200 or similar the stock cooler will allow a bit of OC and still be ok. But ya it does suck bad.

is the thermal compound coverd with a tape (to be removed) ???

@cyrano84 Yea. Same with all intel stock coolers these days. Easy to fit, but fuckin hate it... Every time I feel like I'm going to either break it or it's going to pop back off when I'm done.
