can i use this as a CPU cooler wiht a heatsink?

Yes, but it will need to be large and set up correctly.I would recommend using artic silver as your compound and then getting a Push-Pull cooler if you don't already have one.

Yes, you can if the power supply can deliver the current it consumes. Otherwise you require a separate power supply. If you look at the specs, the peltier requires around 10A. The heatsink you use requires a fan.

Absolutely! In fact, this device must have a heatsink attached to its hot side, if powered for over a second to prevent the hotside from melting down. On the cool side of the device will be a nice icy surface to mate with your CPU through diamond paste or Arctic Silver 5. Remember, you must not fully power the device without a heatsink on the hot side for over a second or you will cause permanent damage. I recommend using a 5 vdc power supply which is close to a third of the rated operational voltage. At this voltage, let the device run for a couple of seconds with the red wire on the + terminal of the power supply and the black wire on the common or ground terminal of the power supply. This will allow you to feel which side gets warm and mark it as "H" for hot. You will sandwich the device between your CPU (cold side) and heatsink (side you marked hot) and apply Arctic Silver, or similar thermal paste, to both sides of the peltier cooler.

I can't say for sure but Dominator Platinum has very high heatsinks. This may be a problem with installing many air coolers. I probably would not go for it, suggest you use water cooler if your case can accommodate it.

Yes it can, make sure that your cooler is designed to convert to heat mode or else you will damage the cooling unit and fan.

Yes, a stock cpu cooler would work. The trick is attaching it to the led. Use a drill to drill holes for screws and then thermal gel to force the heat to the plate.

Yes. Although the i7-4820K doesn't come with a heatsink, you absolutely have to use an LGA2011 compatible heatsink on your build.

Overclocking will be very limited without an aftermarket heatsink. The entire worth of this CPU in a gaming and workstation sense is in the overclocked version of it. Even using a low profile heatsink I was able to push it to 4.7GHz.Noctua Ultra Silent CPU Cooler Cooling NH-U9B SE2

No the stock heatsink already runs too hard. I bought the Corsair Air Series A50 but I had to modify that heatsink because my ram wasn't low profile in order for it to fit. Works great

Yes. It does have a really cheap heatsink.I recommend u should buy a better heatsink . Otherwise this is very good performance processor low heat and fast than core I3

You should be fine. Some heat will be generated, but there shouldnt be enough for the need of heatsink, though it never hurt anything to run a little cooler. I would say if you are only dropping from 12v you should be able to go almost to 4amp @ 3.3V before you really need to worry about cooling.

Yes, it is necessary to use thermal compound for proper heat conduction to the heatsink, otherwise, the contact area would not be high enough. It's cheap.

No desktop class CPU can run without heatsink/fan. At the very least, use the stock heatsink that comes with the boxed CPU.

I wouldn't. Its not made for that. Get thermal pads for vram. I only use This for cpus and gpus

I don't see why not, I am using a Corsair AIO cooler with this board right now.

i'm using a Cooler Master Gemini II S524. it's only about 70mm tall. there is a significant amount of room above it, but i'm not sure if there is enough for your heatsink really. it would be close. one thing about my Cooler Master is that you can orient it so that it extends over the ram for additional cooling there. this is a great case and worth swapping cpu coolers, imho.

I would guess no... I would get a 3rd party cooler which would probably work.

Should as long as it's the same interface and you have the room for it. The heatsink is thick.
