Usually intel cpu's come with a small heatsink which is enough for most of the time even tho they are loud.the evo 212 comes with a heatsink and a fan not to mention it will be better at cooling the cpu

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

The CPU comes with one, but it's advised you purchase something like the Hyper 212 Evo.

It comes with the Intel stock cooler but that sucks so get the 212 EVO

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.

The heat sink is connected to the cooler, not the CPU. So your processor will come with a stock cooler, which has its own heat sink, but you cant take that off. But don't worry, Hyper Evo 212 comes with its own heat sink attached to it as well.

yes only extreme editions and high end xeons dont

the 212 evo isnt a fan itsa a replacement heatsink for the stock cooler which is much better

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

heatsink is the big metal part of the entire cooler. 4790K comes with a stock cooler, which is good enough (barely). The Hyper 212 is a COOLER too - meaning it has a fan AND a heatsink.

It's not a heatsink that you're referring to on the CPU. That's called a heatspreader.

Heatsink isn't that. That's a heatspreader.

The more I read your post the more I question myself if you are trolling or what.
