Does this processor require a separate fan or is it included?

It does come with a stock fan, however I switched it out and used a Zalman CPU fan

It is included but I recomend to get a bigger one. Depends of the use you give to your processor

It does come with a stock fan, however I didn't use the stock fan. I used a Zalman CPU fan instead.

Yes there is a fan included so there is no need for a separate one - that said I did end up buying a better quality separate fan later

este procesador viene con un coller incluido, pero te recomiendo instalar uno mas potente ya que calienta bastante, sobre todo en juegos de videos pesados.. disculpa mi inglesThis processor comes with a coller included, but I recommend you install a more powerful because quite hot, especially in heavy video games .. excuse my English

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

The unit I purchased through ETARATECH for $55 did not come with a fan. I used the fan assembly from my old cpu. If this is the route you take, don't forget to order a thermal paste kit, about $12, which comes with a cleaning solution and a tube of thermal paste. It was easy to apply. Be sure to thoroughly clean your old heat sink and fan assembly of dust and other debris before reassembly. Qtips, windex and a vacuum cleaner should do the trick for this job.

No fan is required, passive cooling is just fine. I run two of these 24/7/365.25 no issues.Make sure you get an adequate power supply.

No, It is not. It's big but not overly space consuming. Just make sure you have at least a full tower to handle it, and make sure it's not fighting for space next to you processor heat sink.

Hello!Yes,it includes the CPU cooler that is rather noisy under heavy load without overclocking. I bought a SilenX cooler 80mm Fan to avoid the nosie. As and advice,if I were going to buy some computer processor right now , I would rather to buy a Fx-8320 that includes a Water cooling system and that has a cost of 170 USD and whose socket is AM3+.Its a little bit more expensive but believe me, you will thank me for that.Its up to yours. Have a nice day!Also consider that AMD is about to release in june-july 2013 their new CPUS which has less energy consumption, and generate less heat, so waiting just a month could be a wise action.

Yes, this one comes with a CPU cooler. I've only ever heard of some of the Xeon processors not coming with a fan, because there often is a unique cooling type for a particular server you might want it in.

The card I received is passively cooled with a heatsink, so there is no fan.

The Intel Core i7-3770T only comes in tray so the cooling fan is not included.

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.

No, a fan cooler is not included. It is highly likely to work with the msi-Z87-G43 as it should be compatible with any Z87 board but MSI should be able to confirm this. Whether your mother board needs paired memory modules or will accept just one is also a question for MSI. My guess is it will accept one. Have you considered the Asus Z87 Deluxe Quad for a motherboard? This is the one I picked and it supports Thunderbolt.

It did not come with a fan directly over the CPU on the side. The back fan does a good job. My case has a 580gtx in it and the original case fans do a fine job.

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.

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, a nice heatsink and fan with a 4-pin connector. You will also get a small information page about the processor and a nice sticker to put on your computer with the AMD logo.

Yes, the fan is pre-attached to the heat-sink and includes pre-applied thermal paste. However, I would recommend an aftermarket cooler for over clocking.

The heat sink and fan that comes with the processor will keep the it cool. However, it is noisy. I put an FX-8350 in a Silver Stone HTPC LC10-E case. I used a Cooler Master GeminII S524 cooler and heat sink. Very quiet.

It comes with a very small fan which you can attach to the heatsink but it virtually doesn't need a fan. It idles about 39c and I have yet to see it get over 48c under a normal load
