Hey, what do you guys do with the chunk of metal that comes with your CPU? Mine is just sitting here looking cool, and I have no clue what to do with him, the little punk.

I just keep it in the box. I'm not positive, but I think Intel wants you to ship it back if you have to RMA, and they won't accept an RMA without one, but I could be wrong.

You are correct sir. Don't get rid of it unless you want to void your warranty
