Does this product come with the standard cpu fan and heat sink?

Hello Eric.No, this product doesn't come with a heatsink right out of the box, and for one simple reason: it comes with all the multipliers and frequencies unlocked so it can be "extremely" over clocked, which requires advanced cooling solutions. One solution that works pretty well, and keeps this beast cool and running is the Corsair H100i water cooler.

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.

As I remember no. But, if you are planning to spend a 1000 bucks on this CPU you most probably want to overclock it and use it for high performance work, so even if it would have came with any sort of cooling system you still wanted to purchase a proper cooling system. I would definitely suggest liquid cooling and then you can overclock it to numbers like 4600 or maybe more.

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

It comes with a heatsink/fan with thermal paste already on it. Just place the fan assembly on top of the microprocessor and hook the 4 hold owns to your motherboard.

It does come with a fan. The processor installs into a motherboard, and above it the cooling unit will install above it. I have this processor and can confirm the attached fan is sufficient for keeping the processor cool.

If you use the fan/heatsink that comes with the CPU, it has thermal compound on it - which is all that I used.

Yes it comes with a heatsink and cooling fan attached. We are gamers and we have had no issues with overheating with the stock (with that said we have not Over Clocked our machines). Games it plays: Skyrim (with high graphics), Dirt 3, Starforge, Lost Planet 3, Half Life 2 seriees, etc.

Yes, this comes with a small heatsink and an OEM cooling fan. You have to move it out of the way to get the chip out of the package.

Yes...If it's described as a retail processor it comes with a heat sink fan.

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

Yes. This processor contains a thermal solution (fan, heat sink and paste).

That is correct. Comes with original intel cooling fan. Thermal paste already applied. thank you.....Mega Micro Devices Inc.

Comes with Fan and Heatsink, paste is included on the sink. Not the highest quality fan/hs but it'll do the job fine. I bought a new heatsink for this processor.

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.

Mine came with a processor and a fan. That's it. It may come with some kind of documentation, but mine did not.

Mine came with the CPU itself and a CPU heat sink/fan assembly that snaps into the motherboard. However I couldn't use the heat sink/fan assembly because I couldn't remove my existing back plate from the motherboard, it was glued on! I had to clean the old thermal paste off my old heat sink, pick up some new thermal paste, apply it to the new CPU I installed and re-use the old heat sink/fan assembly. Not ideal as it's a six year old fan but my temps are fine... for now. I couldn't find a reasonably priced heat sink/fan assembly that would screw into my existing back plate and still make this a cost effective solution! You might want to check yours first.

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