Keep it as a spare for when/if that AIO fails.

 

Boring yes, but practical.

Start a stock heatsink collection. Mount them on your wall to show your achievement.

I took the fan on the stock heatsink and use it as a SSD cooler haha... Put the heatsink on top of a HDD, not efficient but better than nothing lol...

I just keep mine on my desk to throw at people when they come in, and bug me when I'm busy.

Take the thermal paste off and have it for a small snack whilst building the rig. Melt down the metal to form a block which I then sell. The plastic recycled.
