Do i need a cpu fan or do the included fans work(I have a AMD X4 760K)

The fans are for the interior of the box and not made for a heat sink fan for the CPU/"Chip". You should check with the AMD site to see what is the optimal heat sink for the chip that you have. If it needs a large one with a fan, then make sure you have a power supply that can handle the load. Hope this helps - Ken

It did not come with a fan directly over the CPU on the side. The back fan does a good job. My case has a 580gtx in it and the original case fans do a fine job.

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

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.

Please don't run your cpu without a fan. The original fan and cooler are way too noisy for a htpc. My solution was to purchase a Scythe Big Shuriken2 cpu cooler. I don't know if they're made anymore but it's quiet and efficient. Someone might have a better cooler now as I built my system a few years ago. Good luck!

what charlie a. said, and the fan that does come with the CPU sounds horrible. get an aftermarket air cooler, it will help.

I used Intel Pentium cpu with stock fan and there is plenty of space. I am not sure about AMD.

Yes, a nice heatsink and fan with a 4-pin connector. You will also get a small information page about the processor and a nice sticker to put on your computer with the AMD logo.

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.

I'm running a i5 4670K (I'm not overclocking it) and a GTX 760 and all I have is a EVO 212... I have no problems with temps with only the CPU cooler and the stock fans.

The stock heatsink and fan have never let me down, and I've been using AMD's for ages and ages. Granted, I don't bother overclocking my system. They are throttled based on temp. You can always change the fan if your setup runs so hot the fan can't keep up.

Sure. Just be careful to read the manual and place your memory and PCI cards in the correct slots. If you use just one CPU, you must use the first CPU. I do this on several servers so that if I need extra capacity I can always add a CPU and memory. For a CPU fan, use the Dynatron R17 2 Ball Bearing CPU Cooler Heatpipes, (www.Directron.com Part Number: COOL-R17). It fits perfectly and performs well.

If you purchase the boxed version then yes it will come with a heatsink/fan. However, the included heatsink is totally inadequate for cooling the 6800k. You will definitely need a decent aftermarket cooler for this apu. I own two 6800k's and I wouldn't dare put a wimpy cooler on either of them.

Yes the cpu come with a retail fan, this do their work well, my cpu never goes to 40° o more and im living in a tropical zone with 32-35° on the wheather, and making hard gaming with battlefield 3 on High Settings on a 1440x900 resolution. Sorry for my bad english but im latin :), I hope helped you

No you don't need an aftermarket cooler, if you don't over clock your computer. The fan that comes with your CPU is engineered for that type of CPU, and they tend to be quieter than the aftermarket ones. When I bought my CPU from Amazon, there was no fan/heat sink with it, so I had to get an aftermarket one. Check to see if it comes with one.

If you buy a Retail Boxed version then yes it comes with an Intel fan. If you buy an OEM version it will only be the cpu.

Yes, but you should not use a CPU fan connection. Use one of the other motherboard fan connections. There are usually three of these available to power case fans. Piggyback if you run out.

I stuck with the stock fans and they've worked for me - quiet, no overheating. That said, I should mention that I'm not overclocking anything in this build and did the best I could to keep wires out of the airflow channels (cable management is still a challenge in this form factor, but if you're doing it for cooling and don't care what things look like once the case is closed, you're fine). I'm running an i5 4670K with stock heat sink/fan, Corsair Vengeance RAM, 2 x 2TB hard drives.
