Is the CPU liquid cooled? It looks like it in the picture but I see no mention of it.

No, it's not. But it runs relatively cool. Even while playing Skrim or Bioshock: Infinite maxed out.

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.

I don't use liquid cooloing but the case is set-up for it, but 11 cooling fans I have never seen case temp above 40 cel degrees sorry about all I can say

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.

Hi Michael,Get this cooler! It's fantastic! It only comes with 1 fan. You can buy an optional 120mm fan on the opposite side. With my 8350 idle temps are 34c. If i rip or if the processor is getting used my temps get to around 65c. That's excellent!!! The sound isn't even loud at all. It sounds like a stock fan in a store bought PC.To answer your questions. Get this fan and heat sink if you don't want water cooling. The performance is fantastic!!! No worries at all!!!

With max fans and liquid cool, I tell you with out putting exhaust fan and liquid cool CPU. It does not get very hot. CPU is around 40c that is when I am gaming and graphic card around 45c. Because it get fresh cooler from the outside. Not the air the case which is little hotter. Over all I love the case the fans that came with are very quiet.

Yes, there's thermal paste already applied to the surface. There's a clear plastic piece that protects the paste that you have to remove. Very nice heat sink - don't know if it's all that much better at cooling but MUCH quieter than the Intel fan I had that had a high pitch to it.

Boy, there are a lot of variables there!!! I'm on a MSI motherboard with liquid cooling and have no problems. The RAM isn't all that tall. I am making a guess but it should work...that is a very popular cooler.

the cooling package is self contained in the CPU cooling fan is what I suspect. Mine stays way cooler than a non cooled CPU. You can check the HP web site for more info.

Yes it is, you don't need to buy another one, and i3-2120 is a low heat CPU, you don't need to buy CPU fan too (it already has one)

Hi Mariana, this does not include liquid cooling. It can be added. We sell Corsair, ThermalTake, Cooler Master, NZXT & Intel Enclosed liquid CPU coolers.

Retail Package has an included fan and heatsink: but it's going to be LOUD. I suggest a Liquid Cooling Assembly like the Antec H2O 620. I have found it fits nicely on both sockets 775 and 1155.

None, only at 100% fans speed (force set by after market software). You won't hear it under your CPU cooler - be it air or water cooling.

The two heatsinks I received are both with copper core.And both had a conducting paste on them. I am using both of them on Xeon E3-1270v2.Cooling is perfect!

The kit is vented and comes with a heatsink for the processor. No need for active cooling. I know people that run these 24/7 without any type of cooling and they have not had an issue. If you must add a fan, a 40mm fan that can run on 5v from the USB would do I guess.

It depends on your case. I have a full tower and I had room for 2 of these and my CPU is liquid cooled. The radiator for my CPU is mounted at the top of my case. One card cooled from the front of the case, the other through the back.

Hi there, Yes Sir, no problem at all. Alot of people will tell you that this processor is a beast of a CPU (true), but also that beadt will run smoothly with any liquid cooler (open or closed loop) in case of normal clocking. However, if you would like to unleash the full capacity of the beast then you should need a beast of a cooler to cool ot down. I hope i was useful. Regards, Ahmed E
