Fan cooler recommended for this cpu

HP 418803-001 dc7700 CMT Six Copper Pipe Heatsink and Fan will work fine for this cpu.

Depends - aAre you going to overclock the CPU? - if no then the intel stock cooler works just fine; however, if you want to over clock and run this CPU to its higher performance capabilities, then an after market cooler needed - liquid is not absolutely needed but the cooler u keep that CPU the longer it will last in high performance.

I used the stock intel fan cooler that came with my E6300 when I replaced it with the E8600. No problems with overheating and I do not anticipate any. Hope this helps.

Depends on if you're OC or not... I'm using a Zalman 9700 and clocking @ 4Ghz and it does a great job. It's a rather large fan, so you'll need room in your case for it.

I use water cooling, but that's because I live in a very hot place. A very good heat sink fan combo should be fine with a good case fan set up. The unit does not come with and sinks or fans

No you don't need an aftermarket cooler, if you don't over clock your computer. The fan that comes with your CPU is engineered for that type of CPU, and they tend to be quieter than the aftermarket ones. When I bought my CPU from Amazon, there was no fan/heat sink with it, so I had to get an aftermarket one. Check to see if it comes with one.

Short answer is yes this will keep your CPU very cool, but make sure you have enough room to install it in your computer case this is a tall cooler almost 5 inches.

No, it does not come with a CPU fan and heat sink. When you're going to spend around $1K for this CPU, it's kind of expected that you'll be acquiring your own cooling solution to suit your needs. I recommend liquid cooling. I'm using a Corsair H110i, which is more than adequate for my needs. Then again, I do not overclock. I can't tell you if a closed loop liquid cooling system, which the H100i is, can get the job done if you plan to overclock a Intel i7-4960X. By the way, this Intel i7-4960X is a sweet CPU.

the absolute least i can safely say to use with this is the H100i, as it keeps the system stable non-OC but quickly heats up after any overclocking. so if you want to push it past its base clock speed you are gonna want a much better cooler..

It includes a fan. If you plan to overclock it at all, buy a better one. If not, the one included should do fine.

Yes! Be sure to use cpu thermal heatsink grease! "Caution" when using a lower grade cooler failure is at a higher risk!

i already had a fan, but they have plenty on amazon to do the job.make sure you get the arctic silver thermal paste too. this will keep theamd running cooler.

The evo 212 is one of the best air cpu cooler for its price and performance. The H75 will keep your cpu as cool as the evo, you won't feel a big difference. Now, if you want your computer look pretty cool :) you can buy the Corsair H75, i bought this because i had the amd cpu stock cooler. If you can pay $35 over the price of the evo, go for it.

Greetings,Both Saeed's and P. Rachels' answers are spot-on. An optional CPU cooling fan is included for applications that require additional cooling.Best regards,MITXPC

honestly its not really overkill. since the cpu is a quad core running at 3.5 ghz and turbos itself to 3.9 ghz this seems a pretty spot on cooler for a cpu you want to get a long life out of. and since this cooler is only a few dollars more than coolers in its range (that still dont even meet its ability) i say its better to have a little extra cooling than to be pushing the limits of what you have. so in short i think this is perfect for your cpu if your case supports its size. (its extra thick and a little extra long)

The stock fan is sufficient, the only problem is that it is Loud. Temps will be about identical to pretty much any air cooler $45 and under. 45º is probably the max you would see on stock settings.

It does include a stock intel fan/heatsink. The stock cooling solution is not fancy, but particularly for the i7-4770S (65W SKU), it seems to be perfectly adequate. It's much better than Intel stock heatsinks were back in the P4 days, and is almost silent, even under load. That will obviously depend on ambient temperatures and what else is going on in your machine (and just how silent you consider "silent"), so I'm not saying that you will never want some upgraded cooling solution, but I'd say that the stock cooler is likely to be the right choice for the majority of people.

I recommend this H110 280mm. It's been working great since I got it. No more overheat and crash

I'm using the stock fan with an i7-4770. No heat problems, and it's pretty quiet.

You're definitely right! I think the chip outputs too much heat. What I did is undervolted the cpu from the BIOS and also disabled the AMD Turbo Technology, and now it's so much cooler and quieter. Temp on idle around 30-35 load 50-55. Lowest degree was 25. That's insane with the stock fan!
