Does it come with a heatsink?

Yes, the heat sink already attached to the processor which is installed on the motherboard. The only things you are required to purchase are a hard drive, ram and I would optionally purchase an inline slot fan card. I find that it makes thing run smoother.

Yes it does. It seems to be a generic one, but so far so good. Regarding the Artic Silver, I haven't used them myself, but the experts say 5 or 7 are okhttp://www.tomshardware.com/forum/258505-28-heatsink-supplied-arctic-silver

Box SKU Numbers as in this AMD CPU "HDZ955FBGMBOX"- see "BOX" at the end- virtually always come with a heat sink. This CPU in particular DOES INCLUDE a heatsink, but its fan is loud. Many people opt for a higher performance after market CPU Heatsink and Fan. Doing so can prolong the life of the CPU. There are also high quality low-profile Heatsink/fan (very compact and quiet too) that are better than the included "stock" version. Stock Heatsinks come with pre-applied thermal compound, but watch out... The stock Thermal Compound is often the adhesive type which can make removing the stock heatsink difficult- Removal Tip: do so when its still warm/hot from being on and use a small back and forth twisting motion to loosen it before pulling up, or you may pull the CPU out of its socket.

It comes with a heatsink/fan with thermal paste already on it. Just place the fan assembly on top of the microprocessor and hook the 4 hold owns to your motherboard.

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.

Yes, it comes with the stock Intel heatsink/fan CPU cooler. It is an effective and fairly quiet cpu cooler.

Yes it comes with the stock cooler and generic thermal paste. I however wiped off the thermal paste that came with it and then used a BB sized dot of arctic silver thermal paste. It is able to handle the load I put on it with 2 ATI RADEON HD 5850 cross fired using the stock cooler. Very impressed with it so far.

Yes it does. There is one built on the mother board.It does have slots for other boards if needed.

No. The heatsink comes ready to use as it is. Locking system will do the rest.

Yes, it comes with a heat sink and fan but it was too loud under load so I replaced with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus unit that performs better and is much quieter. If you anticipate the processor will be under load a good amount of the time (gaming or apps that tax the CPU), you might consider an aftermarket cooler as well to keep temps down and not just for the fan noise.

Yes it does. It's more than enough for my CPU and i am gamer. You will need some Thermal Paste. Arctic Silver Paste is outstanding for performance.

Yes it is, but Noctua includes all the mounting equipment needed to install the heatsink. Why good instructions also.

Yes. "Processor in a box" retail comes with heatsink/fan and pre-applied thermal pad.

Yes, this comes with a small heatsink and an OEM cooling fan. You have to move it out of the way to get the chip out of the package.

If you purchase the boxed version then yes it will come with a heatsink/fan. However, the included heatsink is totally inadequate for cooling the 6800k. You will definitely need a decent aftermarket cooler for this apu. I own two 6800k's and I wouldn't dare put a wimpy cooler on either of them.

Yes it come with the heatsink fan, but not 100% sure about the thermal paste.

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