I mounted my own PC at the time with the A8-3850 and the processor's box included a fan+heat-sink to mount on top of the CPU.

No. Only the processor is included. Fin fan and thermal paste are sold separately.

No!! I guess you wont be able to find any Box Ver. (NEW) in the market since this product was EOL(End Of Life) almost 2 years already. The CPU from VT-STAR are NEW but OEM Ver. We bought 10+pcs from them for Upgrading our Office Computers and NONE of them have problem. You can easily get a Cooling Fan for this CPU in Amazon if you need it and it wont cost too much($10-15).

No they do not have cooling fans installed and as suggested in the forums, they get really hot. Mine came with a 8PSK module but I had to do the physical installation.

Yeah it comes with the heatsink and fan. I don't know what a retail box is though, but it comes in a box that looks like the picture

no, it comes with a heatsink with thermal paste already applied to it. However if you are going to use an aftermarket heatsink you will have to buy thermal paste and apply it to the processor. also if you see that a processor is an OEM part it will not come with a heatsink or thermal paste. This one is not OEM which means that its got all the required things to cool it.

No it does not, it comes with two fans though. You need to buy one separately.

Does not come with a CPU cooler. Nor CPU. Nor memory, case fans, or anything else. Does come with a case shield (for the back I/O panel), an SLI bridge cable (for connecting 2 GPUs), 4 SATA III cables, a manual, and a driver CD (though you're better off downloading current drivers/utilities from Gigabyte's site).

Yes it come with the heatsink fan, but not 100% sure about the thermal paste.

Heat sinks and fans are usually sold separately from CPUs. Don't expect either to be included unless the description clearly says so. Mine came as CPU only.

I have bought two different model AMD APU's and they both have come with cooling fans in the box with the APU. So the answer is a big YES.

It does come with small fan the can be mounted on top of the CPU heat sink.

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 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.

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.

Hi Cindy: No it doesn´t come with the cooling packs.Those you have to buy separately.

Yes. The box contains the heat sink and fan. The thermal grease is also applied to the heat sink with good instructions on how to assemble.

Yes, it does come with a heatsink. The stock one is fine since you can't over lock it.

Yes, This does have a heat-sink included but depending on your usage case and enclosure (case) I would consider an aftermarket heat-sink dependent again on your usage case / physical case. If your case has low airflow or you will be pushing the APU hard for long periods of time as a media center or under other workloads look toward other heat-sink options. This APU does run warm when under a good load. Hope this helps but remember this is just my opinion / suggestion.
