Fan cooler recommended for this cpu
1035807
I used the fan that came with a Dell 560 Inspiron, it works fine. I don't think you can overclock this processor, so you can't really overheat it, just apply a new layer of grease when changing from one processor to the new one.

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

Hi Neil, if you refer to case ventilation I used the Thermaltake Overseer RX II which already includes fans. For the processors I used Coolermaster TPC 812 CPU cooler.

It comes with a stock fan, it gets pretty loud at times, I will recommend an aftermarket cooler/fan for overclocking

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!

You need check with an expert or the manul of you all in one, because the space inside the pc, i recomend use a big fan fot this cpu, i have big one

the stock heat sink that comes with this cpu is JUNK throw it away and buy something like a cooler master hyper 212 EVO this heat sink will keep your cpu much cooler

People love to debate this question, but in my professional opinion you want to direct them blowing into the case. Place them so they are blowing across components that generate heat such as the RAM, BIOS & HDD.The best thing I did to improve overall temperature and noise in this case was to upgrade the stock CPU cooler to the Zalman CNPS 8900 Quiet (~$33) which was Tom's Hardware's pick for best low profile CPU cooler. Make sure you look into the specs for your build though, it will not fit for every motherboard depending on MOBO size, RAM position, RAM height, PCI slots etc.

Yes. You won't need a aftermarket cooler because you can't overclock this cpu. Unless your case has very few fans. Then your going to want an aftermarket cooler.

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.

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.

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)

I looked at lots of coolers and thought I would go with water cooled, but ended up getting a CoolerMaster 212 EVO HS/Fan combo and love it. Runs cool on a 4770K and it's silent.Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)

The system comes with the stock AMD CPU, which is seems to keep these computers working at low temperatures under normal use. As for running the CPU at 100%, I would say that the fan inside would probably be sufficient, so long as the ambient temperature is kept at a reasonable level (I'm talking server room temperatures: 65-70 degrees.) Even at 100%, the fan at maximum speed should be sufficient enough for cooling the computer. The rest of the case has enough airflow to keep everything else moving well enough (hard drive, DVD burners, etc.)

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.

Yes & if you not an Overclocker it is just fine with stock heatsink and fan. Might want to consider purchasing a mounting plate, (I hate those plastic plugs) the clips provided are the weakest link in cooling processors if you don't have a fairly tight seal you heat up quick.

Noctua NH-U12S. Not too big, with the option of adding a second fan later if you wish. Won't get in the way of your RAM.
