Mine did not come with a fan, it just came with the processor in a little box...is that normal??!

No, all new CPU's should come with the CPU, a fan/heatsink, and install instructions

If you purchased the processor in the sealed retail box you should have received a fan and heat-sink with the processor.

The one that I bought it came with a small fan. I think this is not normal.

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

No Fan, It is just the rotation of the blades. I use mine al the time and for the price very good.

There is one included with the cpu. Remember its a stock fan there are better fans out there.

Greetings,Both Saeed's and P. Rachels' answers are spot-on. An optional CPU cooling fan is included for applications that require additional cooling.Best regards,MITXPC

No fan is required, passive cooling is just fine. I run two of these 24/7/365.25 no issues.Make sure you get an adequate power supply.

Yes. with little activity the fan hardly runs. With more processing it really blows. I found the problem with mine was some Toshiba installed gaming that was running all the time. causing the fan to run on high all the time. I couldn't figure out how to turn the game off (or how it even got turned on) so I just uninstalled it and my machine now runs quiet.

Hello! Yes,it includes the CPU cooler that is rather noisy under heavy load without overclocking. I bought a SilenX cooler 80mm Fan to avoid the nosie. As and advice,if I were going to buy some computer processor right now , I would rather to buy a Fx-8320 that includes a Water cooling system and that has a cost of 170 USD and whose socket is AM3+.Its a little bit more expensive but believe me, you will thank me for that.Its up to yours. Have a nice day! Also consider that AMD is about to release in june-july 2013 their new CPUS which has less energy consumption, and generate less heat, so waiting just a month could be a wise action.

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.

It comes with the fans. Depending on your CPU heatsink fan you may want to remove the case fan that sits diagonally under it as it makes for a tight fit.

It does not have a fan, when plugging in the hard drive the same is exposed and has no need for a fan. I have a hard drive plugged in that's similar to the one in my desktop and use it to update on a weekly basis a clone copy (mirror Image) of my hard drive. This is done in conjunction Carbonite Back ups.

Mine came with a Fan. But I used my old fan cause it looked to be of better construction.

I seem to recall reading in a review somewhere that the Acer C720P does have a fan but can't locate that source just now. More to the point though, this chromebook is essentially silent. It does get slightly warm on the bottom but not hot. Fan or not it is hushabye quiet.

The processor I purchased a few months ago came with an Intel cooler in the box. My understanding is that coolers are always included. I hope this information is useful.

No, it does not have a fan. To be honest, I do not think it needs one. I have 10 of these things (I am a photographer) and have had no problems.

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 it does have a fan, nice thing with this laptop is it won't over heat and it does have bluetooth. Because it's windows 8, you go to the charms menu and to the magnifying glass the type bluetooth, and boom you can turn it on :)
