Some stuff that is newer than I am usually working with, so new stuff for me 😀 It was free!

That's a Thermalright XP-120, a legendary cooler usually considered as the start of the "supercooler" era; in fact it was the first successful cooler with heatpipes and with an adequate fan it still is a pretty valid cooler today.
I'd love to have one, but usually people ask for them more than what they're worth.
Probably slightly off topic but I dunno where else to mention it so I'll mention it here.
Another "Legendary" cooler is The Cooler Msster GeminII S, the original (not the newer one). The newer revised one is shite and doesn't do very well at all. The older one however, is -FANTASTIC- and I have about 3 of em in the house and I won't ever let go of em. If you find the newer adapter plates and change out the adapter plates, they're compatible with Intel Sockets for LGA-1366,1150, 1155, and even 2011. I've used one of mine with an x58 i7 quad core chip (1366) @ 4.2 ghz before just fine. I have one currently on my 775 system cooling my quad core harpertown 12MB chip @ 3.75 ghz with heavy voltage (like 1.5v) just fine. I've cooled my 3770k chip with one before @ 4.6 ghz. I've had one for a while on a friend's x99 six-core haswell chip and handled that @ 4.4 ghz just fine. Let a friend borrow it until he bought an AIO water cooler later. They're also have mounting brackets to be compatible with AMD 939, AM2, and AM3.
An example of what they are so you know what to look for: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131839340260 They can be commonly found on ebay for like $30 or less.
The newer adapter plates I refer to essentially are any modern cooler master copper heatpipe cooler, they all use the same mounting holes. And can be transferred back to these older ones.
