Yup, I'm a victim of that. Bought an OEM CPU by mistake, no heatsink/cooler. This was for a replacement home server - the existing of which had died spectacularly - so getting this new server up ASAP was top priority. Which is why it now has a £50 water cooler from Maplin.

Which reminds me I really need to check the operating specs on that, it can't have a lot of life left in it being on 24-7 and if Maplin aren't there next time...
