is there a fan in the box? I would like to know if the processor comes with a fan or Do I have to buy an independent fan

yes it does com e with a fan, but it isint the great deal, if you are a gamer or like yust to over clock to time to time i would ecomend you the Zalman 775 socket cpu cooler, its the beast it takes out at least 5-10 c off compared to the stock fan that intel gives.

Yes, it has no fans. I just would highly advise you use something else because the glacial performance that the Drobo software imposes on the system. Four SSD's in the Mini array are slower than a single SSD connected via thunderbolt

Yes. It is a retail processor so it comes with a heatsink/fan combo made for this processor specifically.

Actually it does have a fan but only a cpu fan - very small and very quiet. Think laptop and you have the idea of how this system works.

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.

It's got one fan. You can manually turn on the extra power to it by pushing a button on the upper left of the keyboard. I play a lot of League of Legends, Sim City 5, etc... I run graphics at full quality and haven't had a problem. I do, because I always have, use a cooling pad, but I doubt that is absolutely necessary. The computer doesn't get very hot.

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.

Most new retail core 2 processors come boxed with a fan. But new oem do not. You will have to ask the seller.

It was not in box, but it was the correct processor. I've been using it for 6 months now with no issue. You'll need some thermal paste, though.

It comes with one case fan. No CPU cooler included. There's a huge amount of holes around the case that the new GPU we have is fine with the fans it includes on the card. We are not overclocking anything now. The CPU has gotten pretty warm in the summer though (maybe 60 degrees C when it shut down 1 or two times). We don't have AC in the house.

No, Graham, it does not have a fan. Runs cool with a 2tb WD Red drive in it tho.

No fan included. It comes with thermal paste. You must buy your own fan. New fans usually come with pre applied thermal paste.

No fan or heat sink, unless otherwise stated by the company, Mine came just processor and thermal compound

Comes with nothing but the cooling fan as shown. Or, I don't think there is any way to buy sticks of ram and get a cooling fan as a package. Hope this is clear and helps.

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.

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
