idiot question - retail cpu - does it come with HSF

[Jaswan]

Hi,

Its been roughly 1 million years since I bought a CPU.

Does a retail chip come with the HSF in the box?

I dont want to shell out for a cooler as I want to dig out my water cooling stuff later on . . .

Thanks

Jason.

Yes, 3 year instead of 1 and a fan is the difference between OEM and retail.
