A: Yes, it came with mine.
Q: How good of an upgrade is this from a core i5-6000.
A: When it comes to processors, it can be often hard to decipher the string of numbers that distinguish them. Generally, though, the higher the number, the more powerful the chips are. Core i9s are more powerful than Core i7s, which are more powerful than Core i5s. Simple enough.
Q: Will it work with a ASROCK B360M IB-R1 mom motherboard?
A: Hi Max, I suggest contacting IBuyPower as that is a OEM motherboard made for them. As it is part of the B360M family It should have the same LGA 1151 socket and 300 series chipset and work with the Intel Core i7-9700F processor. Thank you for choosing Intel
