In February 2005, a heatsink bundled with an Intel Pentium 4 3.4 GHz (LGA775) is about 40mm high with a copper core.
Later, in April 2007, a Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13 GHz has a 30mm high heatsink with a copper core.
Now, in September 2008, a Core 2 Duo E8500 3.17 GHz has a 14mm high heatsink with no copper core
.
The difference in the heatsink for the two Core Duo CPUs really makes you ask questions
.
Adding to the problem is the heatsink compound already on the heatsink would not be adequate - it should be in a separate dispenser. Not to mention, the heatsink mounting pins are somewhat flimsy.
