That stock cooler is weakness of epic proportions!

Oh well, just as good. Including one with the 870 SKU is a mere formality: I don't think many people splashing for a premium CPU like that would use one... Or would they? Back in november when X58 launched availability of CPU coolers with s1366 mounting was abysmal for a couple of months.

Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself on this one and the heatsink manufacturers aren't caught with their pants down again.
