hello how are you?, Could you tell me if this processor comes with the stock cooler and thermal paste? thank you very much and I hope your answer

Yes, It comes with a stock cooler with thermal paste pre-applied. All you have to do is simply snap the cooler on place and plug it in. very simple.

Yes and Yes; YOUr cooler is one that fits all motherboards and big ram(good cooler but stock) intel turbo boost increases temps to 50C___ STOCK. Three strips of grey thermal TAPE on the cooler itself. BUT you can live without intel turbo boost with this cpu temps drop to 20c to 30c (very good). I LOVE MY CPU AND I WANT IT TO LAST (BETWEEN ME AND YOU THIS CPU IS A MONSTER).

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.
1022053
Yes it comes with the stock fan and the thermal paste is already on the cooler so you don't need any thermal paste.
1022054
Comes with the stock cooler, no thermal paste. If you are going to overclock I recommend upgrading the cooler.

I'm not the seller, but can relay that mine did come with the stock heat sink and paste

It depends on the seller, if you buy new it will come with a stock cooler and pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler.

It comes with a fan that already has thermal paste on it, but get another fan and another thermal paste, I had a bad experience with the stock fan and thermal paste. also don't get this, I regretted getting this, just spend another 50 on 6300 or 100 on 8320 or 8350

Yes, make sure to update to the newest bios before installing CPU and apply a very good quality of thermal compound to CPU. Thanks, Discount18

yes this does come with a heatsink and fan. Also, since this processor is a 54 watt processor the stock heatsink and fan are more than adequate for it.

Yes it comes with thermal paste no it isn't pre-applied. Anyhow arctic silver does a much better job than the stock cooler master paste. Not surprising since it's thrown in for free.

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

To answer your question the cpu block comes with preapplied thermo paste, but I found it works much better if you carefully remove the factory paste and use a good thermo paste like cooler master or arctic freeze; Thermo paste is critical to use without it and you will fry the cpu. Hope this helps. Also be sure to clean the residual paste completely with alcohol or such before applying new paste very thinly. More is not better. :)

Yes... but I'd recommend replacing it. The thermal paste is on the stock cooler. It comes in three thick bands with gaps in between them. I'd recommend at least spreading these out to cover the entire CPU before installing. I removed the stock paste completely and went with my own application to ensure even coverage.

Sorry Frank. I'm still waiting for the CPU. I ordered this M/B and the 20th Anniversary Intel CPU. Haven't got the CPU in yet so have not fired up this board.

Yes. It comes with a Cooler Master heat sink / fan combo that has a few heat pipes and thermal compound pre-applied. With the stock heat sink my CPU temp (at 4.2 GHz) at idle is only 34 C and so far has only gotten up to 45 C when gaming.

No, it is only the processor. But a good cooler is easy to find. But it is until now an exellent processor for Am3 boards.

Yes, Bob. The fan assembly I received actually included a tiny packet of "thermal paste". Check-out "http://www.ehow.com/how_6870400_install-775-cpu-fan.html" for a little more help if you need it.

Yes it comes with a stock fan, however I use a water cooler when I overclock. But the power gain and speed is incredible!

Yes, it comes with a stock heat sink just as crappy as any other processor's stock heat sink.

The stock heatsink and fan that comes with the cpu works fine for me and I have it installed in one of those very compact htpc cases (Antec ISK-100) over a year now. This processor is NOT the overclocked version which is usually called the (K) model so I don't see why it would be necessary to have a third party state of the art heatsink and fan. I guess if you purchased the overclocked cpu version of this processor and planned on pushing it to the limits then I would recommend finding a much better heatsink and fan unit over the stock model. I have a really nice and expensive Cool Master heatsink and fan unit on a desktop computer and I don't see any difference in performance or heating issues over the stock heatsink and fan with the exception of more noise that the Cool Master makes because of it's larger and faster fan. I'm sorry to say, I was once bitten by the performance bug when building that ole desktop and should have just saved the money and go stock instead.

A brand new FX processor may or may not be sold with a cpu cooler. AMD released different versions. One comes without a cooler like mine did, another with a typical air cooler and the most expensive version comes with a liquid cooler. If you see a decently priced "new" unopened cpu version, go for it.

I haven't OCed my rig yet and I don't plan to until I get a decent cooler. From what I've gathered, it doesn't look like the stock cooler can handle an overclocked CPU. So, I suggest you wait until you get your cooler. Plus, this CPU is plenty powerful out of the box.
