Does this packaging come with a heatsink or is it OEM?

Yes. It is in manufacturer's packaging, not OEM. Never had any heat issues and we use these all the time.

Yes. It does have a really cheap heatsink.I recommend u should buy a better heatsink . Otherwise this is very good performance processor low heat and fast than core I3

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.

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

Ya, seems to be standard for this chip I purchased a larger heatsink for it as well as changed fan speeds to keep it a little lower. Doesn't change the temp much but works well for extended use.

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.

Yes it does. It seems to be a generic one, but so far so good. Regarding the Artic Silver, I haven't used them myself, but the experts say 5 or 7 are okhttp://www.tomshardware.com/forum/258505-28-heatsink-supplied-arctic-silver

It's a pretty small heatsink. If you plan on doing any gaming I would recommend upgrading to something better. But for basic use it'll do just fine.

Yes it is, but Noctua includes all the mounting equipment needed to install the heatsink. Why good instructions also.

Yeah, but an after market heatsink is recommended. I bought the Cooler Master Seidon 120v for it.

You will have to contact Noctua for more. The heatsink kit comes with 2 sets.

Overclocking will be very limited without an aftermarket heatsink. The entire worth of this CPU in a gaming and workstation sense is in the overclocked version of it. Even using a low profile heatsink I was able to push it to 4.7GHz.Noctua Ultra Silent CPU Cooler Cooling NH-U9B SE2

It's new but does not come boxed. It comes in a Manufacture Package. This is what companies get when they order 10, 15 or 20000 processors at a time. This is well worth the cost. I have been using mine now for over a year with NO problems what-so-ever. I highly recommend. Super cheap upgrade. Almost forgot . . there is no fan included but they do include heat sink compound. Just use your old heat sink and fan . . . you'll be ok. Be sure to clean all the old compound from the old heat sink.

Not the fan, the heatsink. My heatsink did. I took it off, and using my own, but probably not a big difference.

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.

If you are using the stock heatsink then thermal compound is already applied in the packaging. If you are using an aftermarket heatsink, then you definitely want to make sure to use some if it doesn't already have it on it.

it has pre-applied thermal paste on the heatsink, but I always recommend getting your own and cleaning theirs off, putting your own on, if you know how. If you are not familiar with this process, leave the OEM thermal paste in place, it will do an ok job.

i wouldnt suggest OC on stock heatsink. the EVO 212 looks similar to what i got (Arctic Freeze 7 pro), i have my system OC at 4Ghz and in a full tower case i get no more that 55 C during the summer (in oklahoma we have high humidity for the summer), and now with winter set in it stays sub 45 C

I bought a (new) retail version. Which does come with a stock heat sink and fan with a four pin motherboard connector. BTW, the stock AMD cooler may look small, but it is quiet and works very well.

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