    Don’t know what the fuss is about?

    This is an awesome CPU. It’s stable at 33-37c with some cheap Noctua rip off brand cooler. Was told by many people to go AMD but a weekend sale got me to make a whole new computer build from Best Buy. (Also having 50 series GPU in stock). I cannot wait to see wht Intel has in store for the future

Questions & Answers

  • Dpes it come with stock heat sink?

    Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. No, any Intel® Desktop Processor with the letters K, KF, KS, XE, or X in their number is not shipped with Intel® Thermal Solution (fan heatsink). A thermal solution (CPU cooler) and a thermal interface material for the processor are needed.
