CPU Cooler?

Elixir · 25 May 2012 at 09:49

I have ordered the following based on builds I've seen recommended on here, but just realised there is no CPU cooler in amongst it... I'm confused as to whether I need to order one or it is included with anything? I've seen the build suggested without a separate cooler a couple of times.

EDIT: On further reading I think the CPU comes with a stock cooler but if someone could confirm that it would put my mind greatly at ease.

Correct, when you buy a retail cpu it comes with the stock hsf.

Why not get something like the Gelid Tranquillo? It will run a lot quieter and give you more headroom for Overclocking. Just a suggestion...

If I fancy going that way in a few weeks then I'll look into it, just wanted to check I'd have a functioning PC after I put everything together tomorrow.

I see

Well keep the Gelid in mind. Great cooler for the $.
