What all is needed in order to install this? I already have a good computer, but want to upgrade the fan for OCing. Thanks.

It comes with everything you need to install. It has hardware for Intel and AMD. Rather easy to install as well. Make sure to thread the thumb screws all the way, they will run out of thread once the block seats on the cpu.

All you need to install the product comes in the package just make sure you have ample space to install the radiator in your case.

You just need the space, make sure to measure it out--this guy is quite large. It comes with all necessary brackets, just make sure it lists your socket as compatible.

Everything you need comes with in the box. confirm that your case will have enough room for the radiator ( about 2 inches ) and has the hole to correctly mount the radiator. My case only had the 140mm holes and I had to use the mesh exhaust grid for holes.

Yes, you just have to unscrew the X that is in the center of the fan when you install it. I recommend you to watch a video in youtube about installing it so you can get what I am talking about more easily. Remember that the installation of the X type accessory in which the fan is mounted onto the motherboard has to coincide with the type of processor you have but that info is in the manual so don't worry

There is one included with the cpu. Remember its a stock fan there are better fans out there.

Yes, it comes with an AMD fan/heat sink that works very well. If you plan to overclock, then you should probably look for an after-market set up.

You have to measure the case location where you want to put the fan. But in most situations, there should be no problems installling a new fan

It comes with 3 fans already, I bought 1 extra just in case. But as long as you aren't overclocking the computer then the stock fans should be plenty :)

Yeah it comes with one fan on the front behind the metal mesh that's pre-installed, just need to plug it into your motherboard. It's about 5"x5" don't really have specific specs to give you just a pretty generic fan. I haven't overclocked anything and things stay pretty cool.

You do not NEED to buy another fan/heatsink, as it comes with one. If you are in a warm environment and/or plan to overclock I would suggest you do. A great air cooling option I would suggest the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. You can find it under $35 and its cool/quiet. I use water cooling H80i with this CPU but only because of extreme overclocking.

The Masscool 8WT15-3 CPU fan should have arrived with the necessary parts for installation. Specifically there should be a four-legged device with tapped screw holes at each of the four legs. You will place this device on the back side of the motherboard and attach to the motherboard with the four spring-loaded screws. Of course to do this you will have to remove the motherboard from the PC chassis and you will have to remove the currently installed CPU socket. I believe there are instructions on the enclosed pamphlet when you purchased the fan kit. If you did not purchase a kit but purchased only the CPU fan assembly, you will need to locate a source for purchasing the rest of the kit.

The fan it comes with is adequate. It depends on your case and airflow as well.

Hi Roger, Yes! you are in luck! I ran into the same situation setting up my fan system. I bought my fan kits at Amazon, and purchased extentions directly from coolerguys.com. By the way, I've had my fans for almost a year now, and they are just as quiet as the day I set them up. Do yourself a favor and buy the fans with the thermostat option if you have not done so already. It is the way to go. Good luck with your system, your making the right choice, its a high quality product.

CPU and Fan. The CPU has a thin layer of grease to mount onto the motherboard. I currently have it running in a home-built NAS, Fractal Design Node 304 case, without any problems.

Be careful with the power requirements for your Graphics Card. Many 1GB+ Graphic Cards need 400 watts or more. Also, you need low-profile cards. Standard are too tall. For the CPU, a standard fan that comes with a CPU should be fine. I have only used standard in them and no issues. You only get about 3.5 inches of height for that fan. You may want to confirm the measurements of your CPU fan against the width of this case (3.9 inches is listed in the seller's description).

Mine came with a processor and a fan. That's it. It may come with some kind of documentation, but mine did not.

You have to use the bracket supplied with the new fan. There are no threaded holes in the mobo to receive the screws. Also, the bracket snaps in from the underside of the mobo so this fan is not easy to retrofit on an existing system. You may have to take the mobo out of the chassis.

I recommend noctua quiet series fans (the newest ones) in a pull configuration. The have a 140mm fan in the back in a push configuration. Make sure you have an aftermarket CPU cooler

no and yes. is there a built in mounting point for a fan? no. But i did add one using a scythe slim slipstream (i think it was 10mm thick) and mounted it in the indention in the mesh on the top cover. I drilled 4 holes in the mesh and mounted the fan to that. But i did that using a passively cooled embedded Asus AMD setup so i had room. If you get a cooler running chip and a nice Low profile cooler you should be good without one.
