If given the choice between a stock Intel CPU cooler and a stock AMD CPU cooler, which one should you choose (regardless of CPU)?

What only one version of the intel cooler? The older ones are better and what about the 2011 cooler or the Intel/AMD AIO ones? http://goo.gl/0LP0Vc

Too bad AMD's stock coolers look awful; at least Intel's cooler looks decent.

more than just the tip..... I can't stop laughing

If you look at the Cooler size you pretty know the answer to the question in this video.

Everytime the Intro comes on, I have to look away cause it's so awful.......

LGA2011 has no stock cooler. They expect you to buy your own if you're going to pay that much money for a system.

[wolfgang]

stock coolers. yay.

 

I would be interested in that price per performance video.

[MasterJV]

The aftermarket cooler video idea would be awesome. One test I would really like is a noise test. I've always wondered if the fan on the 212 really is quoted than the stock fan.

LGA2011 has no stock cooler. They expect you to buy your own if you're going to pay that much money for a system.

It actually does and has 2 different variants. There is one that is just a much bigger version of the standard one you see in the video and there is the AIO which I believe is OEM'd by Asetek.

As terrible as they are, it's never a bad idea to have one laying around in the event that you do need temporary cooling from one. 

[Mew]

Ok, major flaw that I see in this video is that fanspeed isn't standardized or included. 

[KRImSIN]

Why am i so excited about this video?

[Castdeath97]

Yes we want the afteemarket cooler video thing.

Since when has LTT Standardized anything?

The 2011 samples we get don't come with a cooler, which is why we weren't able to include any other variants of Intel cooler.

great video. I love how ghetto it is, but you completely forgot to touch on acoustics, which is a major factor for upgrading cooling for those like myself.
