Does this CPU come with a heatsink? If not where can i find a cheap compatible one?

Yes it does. It's not a very powerful processor. And the built in GPU is very weak.

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.

Well it all depends on who u order from... Like mine was only the processor no box. But typical it comes with a heatsink and instructions. Great dual core processor!!

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.

No it does not. I would suggest the AMD 8150 or the AMD 8350 CPU for this motherboard. I have both and they work very well with this board.

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.

Yes, it comes with a heat sink and fan but it was too loud under load so I replaced with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus unit that performs better and is much quieter. If you anticipate the processor will be under load a good amount of the time (gaming or apps that tax the CPU), you might consider an aftermarket cooler as well to keep temps down and not just for the fan noise.

Yes, this CPU comes with a heatsink and fan assembly. As the previous user commented, don't use them if you plan to overclock. I have found (after using this CPU for several months with the stock heatsink and fan assembly) that it stays comfortably cool even while running powerful games like Syrim or Assassins Creed 3 on full graphics. On top of that, while running those games on full, it still isn't at 100% load.

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

It comes with a heatsink/fan with thermal paste already on it. Just place the fan assembly on top of the microprocessor and hook the 4 hold owns to your motherboard.

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.

Yes, it is compatible with your motherboard I checked PcPartpicker.com. I don't know what kind of cpu you have but, check the compatibility on pcpartpicker.com.

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

Yes, this comes with a small heatsink and an OEM cooling fan. You have to move it out of the way to get the chip out of the package.

Yes, it comes with intel's default heatsink and thermal paste, perfectly fine if you do not plan on overclocking.

Yes, it does. It's still working , must have been 2 years since i bought this cpu.

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