[nickpokesyou]

does FX 8350 include stock fan ?

Yes, if you're not buying a bulk version it is

LOL!:D It comes in a tin can and does have a stock cooler included....though, if you intend to OC it, best get a good 3rd party cooler from CoolerMaster, Thermaltake, etc.....I have a CM Hyper 412Slim (swapped stock fans for a single Corsair SP Performance fan) and it's fine.

If you want to overclock the CPU, I'd recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, the Scythe Grand Kama Cross, the NZXT Havik 140 or The Noctua NH-D14.

Order is from least expensive to most expensive.

Stock fan is for stock speeds or less depending on the case.

The tin can is useless, it has a hole half way down the size of the CPU. Wanted to store stuff in it but the hole is just a fail, sure could plug it up but I know eventually that would be a problem and stuff would come out.

Stock fan will only be able to cool your cpu at stock speeds. If you want to get lower temperatures, I would recommend a budget cpu cooler such as a Hyper 212 Evo. If you want to overclock, I would get the Noctua NH-D14, which is the best of air coolers right now imo.

It is designed for stock speeds in mind but even then the cooling performance won't be that great. I only recommend stock coolers for people who buy low power chips (less than 65W) or someone on a strict budget. Otherwise, a 120mm tower cooler is always the way to go imo.
