I heard this comes with a cooling fan, heatsink and thermal paste. Is that true?

Yes. The thermal paste is preapplied on the heatsink (with cooling fan attached).

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.

This item does not come with cooling fan, just a heatsink. It is low profile ready.ThanksCopystars Support

Yes, it came with the heat sink, fan and the thermal pad on the bottom of the heat sink. (Not thermal paste)

Yes, it comes with an AMD fan/heat sink that works very well. If you plan to overclock, then you should probably look for an after-market set up.

It comes with a heatsink, not case fan... I don't like stock heatsinks though so I got a corsair liquid cooling system instead.

This kit came with a little heat sink. I overclocked it and the heat sink barely even warms up I don't think a fan would be a great investment for this setup. Not to mention you wouldn't be able to close the case being it is very tight as is.

The unit I purchased through ETARATECH for $55 did not come with a fan. I used the fan assembly from my old cpu. If this is the route you take, don't forget to order a thermal paste kit, about $12, which comes with a cleaning solution and a tube of thermal paste. It was easy to apply. Be sure to thoroughly clean your old heat sink and fan assembly of dust and other debris before reassembly. Qtips, windex and a vacuum cleaner should do the trick for this job.

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.

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.

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

Yes, Bob. The fan assembly I received actually included a tiny packet of "thermal paste". Check-out "http://www.ehow.com/how_6870400_install-775-cpu-fan.html" for a little more help if you need it.

I ordered this a few months back and mine came with the fan and heatsink. HTH

Yes it comes with the stock fan and the thermal paste is already on the cooler so you don't need any thermal paste.

Yes, it comes with a fan. The fan is good enough for light gaming, but if you plan to do some heavy work for long hours, or plan to overclock it, buy a better fan, like the hyper 212 from cooler master, good and cheap. Don´t forget to buy a good psu if you plan to do some oc.

It comes with a heatsink and fan with thermal paste already applied.Depending on how much you want to push your processor, I would recommend finding a better heatsink since the one included is merely 'adequate' for normal uses. Mine has pretty high temps with even small overclocking with the stock cooler.
