Switched out the PSU for one that won't blow up.  The locked CPU's do have coolers.

So the i5 6500 will have one? http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?e=3287020

Only the unlocked cpu's don't come with a cooler (6600k for i5)

So the i5 6500 will have one? http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?e=3287020

Yes, the 6500 will have an cooler too. I recently built a system with one, so I can verify that they do indeed come with a cooler.
