Does this include the heat sink? One comment said it wasn't included in his purchase.

It has the heatsink, but I also recommend an aftermarket cooler and some thermal compound(ArcticSilver). If your PC has nice airflow and you're not planning on any hardcore gaming, you could get away with using the heatsink it comes with but your CPU might not live as long.

Box SKU Numbers as in this AMD CPU "HDZ955FBGMBOX"- see "BOX" at the end- virtually always come with a heat sink. This CPU in particular DOES INCLUDE a heatsink, but its fan is loud. Many people opt for a higher performance after market CPU Heatsink and Fan. Doing so can prolong the life of the CPU. There are also high quality low-profile Heatsink/fan (very compact and quiet too) that are better than the included "stock" version. Stock Heatsinks come with pre-applied thermal compound, but watch out... The stock Thermal Compound is often the adhesive type which can make removing the stock heatsink difficult- Removal Tip: do so when its still warm/hot from being on and use a small back and forth twisting motion to loosen it before pulling up, or you may pull the CPU out of its socket.

Yes, it does indeed include one. I'd go for an aftermarket one if you can scrape together a few more bucks.

I don't think it does, but then I don't use stock coolers. I could not locate the box (meaning it was small). I don't remember putting a cooler aside when I put the system together.

Yes it's included. If you want to over clock, I would recommend after market cooler, it may be a bit loud

yes intel heatsink with fan is included. Though you got to buy thermal paste, apply some on the cpu die before attach the heatsink fan provided.

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.

No it does not include the power supply. But basically any basic power supply out there that you choose will fit. Location is in the bottom/back of case. You can choose to mount the power supply right side up so that the fan will be facing into the case or upside down and fan will be pushing air out through vented bottom of case.

yes this does come with a heatsink and fan. Also, since this processor is a 54 watt processor the stock heatsink and fan are more than adequate for it.

Yes it does, but if you want to overclock or something really quiet I recommend to buy an aftermark heatsink.
1569651
Yes. There is paste (looks like a raised pad) on the bottom of the heat sink.

No fan or heat sink, unless otherwise stated by the company, Mine came just processor and thermal compound
599479
Yes it does. It's a complete setup with fan, heat element, and light included.

Yes it's come with heatsink n fan and ready gel on the bottom hook to the cpu

I believe mine was just the CPU, and we used an old fan. We bought thermal paste separately.

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.

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.

yes it comes with a stock heat sink and fan that is very adequate for everyday computing if you intend to do heavy gaming then the best thing to do is buy a heatsink and fan such as the coolermaster hyper 212 which is cheap and very good

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.

Yes it comes with a heat sink & fan. They are adequate for normal use. However if you intend to overclock I would recommend an upgrade to at least a heat-pipe type of cpu cooler.
