Yes I'm also talking about non-stock coolers, but yeah. It took some years but I have an affection for all of them today.
I still have my Coolermaster V10, a ridiculously massive 775/1366 cooler. Think it was around ‘09 I bought it.
“Gas & Oil”, nice analogy. Shame that the day will come when, along with crank windows, kids won’t know what they are. :/The look of that thing makes me feel like I need to mix 2-stroke oil with gasoline before starting the computer.

I love that you have that thing.I still have my Coolermaster V10, a ridiculously massive 775/1366 cooler. Think it was around ‘09 I bought it.
some things, as I’m sure you know, you just can’t part with!I love that you have that thing.
RIGHT?!some things, as I’m sure you know, you just can’t part with!
As far as I know Intel started making decent coolers for the core extreme series and LGA 1366.

The way the fan fins are bent means it probably does move some air over those fins (higher pressure), but it is probably noisy. Newer fans need shroud's because they create little pressure and are optimized for low noise.Intel has never made a good cooler, the one you pictured included.
You may as well remove the fan entirely because without a duct, that fan has basically zero static pressure and will barely move air through the fin stack. The fan may as well be attached to a brick wall, it doesn't have enough pressure to overcome the drag of the fin stack.

It seems fashionable here to bash W11. W11 is a modern OS and is designed to be used on modern equipment. When you attempt run W11 on one of your old dogs, it like bolting a 6-speed auto trans out of a Corvette to a Model A with a 4 cylinder flat head.Windows 11 does not run well. Its windows 11.
Microsoft has been STAGGERINGLY consistent over the years with every other windows operating system being trash. Let's look at it:
Windows 3.1? Wonderful.
Windows 95? Terrible.
Win98? Awesome!
WinME: Horrible.
Windows XP? Possibly the finest operating system ever created.
Windows Vista? Well, you were there.
Windows 7? No XP, but infinitely better than Vista.
Windows 8? Try Vista 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Windows 10? Was pretty great until the feature-creep got out of control a couple years ago, still serviceable.
The pattern here does not bode well for Windows 11. But, hey, 12 should be pretty deece!
When you attempt to run windows 11 on a brand new, high-performance PC, it runs about the same as on an "old dog". The OS is sluggish and generally sucks.It seems fashionable here to bash W11.

There's certainly varying degrees of terribleness within the off-versions. 95 was definitely OK in terms of usability and introduced a lot of great features that are still great today, but it had some compatibility and stability issues fixed on '98 that made '98 so much better.I'm not sure I agree that Windows 95 was terrible. It was pretty amazing when it came out. I remember installing it on my 486 and I was just amazed at how it detected all of the hardware and just worked.
Yeah its freaking NUTS. Ads every time I open a web browser are bad enough. I don't need them built right into the OS. I have an Enterprise version of 10 for exactly that reason.I have issues with Windows 10 and Windows 11, and mostly it's because the free or even retail versions are all full of ads. You have to be able to get Enterprise or do some hack to get no ads.
RIGHT?!?!?!?!EVERY version of windows since Vista has made changes just for the sake of changes, the the point where I don't even try to find most things in the gui and I just run the MSC or CPL command directly from the run box, which was also moved and hidden in windows 10 for no good reason. Windows 11 seems to be the worst though when it comes to changing the look of everything at the expense of usability. At least with some of the older versions, like XP, vista, and 7, you could put things in classic mode. The windows 11 right click menu is awful. Fortunately you can do a regedit to set it back to the old menu.
Not to be disparaging, but you have no proper insight as to what you speak. In my experience, and when properly installed, it is nearly equal in performance with W7, at least in the gaming arena. Take some time to learn how to setup and use W11 properly. I can speak with some authority as I have top end machines with both OS's.When you attempt to run windows 11 on a brand new, high-performance PC, it runs about the same as on an "old dog".

My theory is its due to all the Microsoft-supplied spyware literally logging your mouse cursor movements.
