Question 3

Does this processor come with a stock cooler?

Accepted Answer

Dear Adan:

Sorry for my delay ... I am off at a very intense certification class this week.

The processor does NOT come with a cooler, which is a blessing. The coolers for this processor are huge. To the point that a normal box does not have enough space to house it. I went with a liquid cooler to save internal space and reduce noise. The computer does look like it is a member of the Borg collective, but I have space and it is quieter.

All my best

PS it does require a somewhat odd mounting plate for the heat sink.
