Warranty

Warranty

Explain ? Lol

 

[andy_mk3]

Ignore that, oem used to have a shorter warranty but they're both 3 years now

 

[JayGallagher]

So it’s literally the same processor ?

 

[IceBear]

Looks the same thing to me, unless I'm missing something.

 

[JayGallagher]

Just found out it comes with no heatsink in the oem but I’m going watercooled so doesn’t matter lol

£60 win

Do any ADL come with a sink? My ADL 12700k retail in box never.

Intel stopped putting heatsinks in 'K/KF' cpu's a while back. You still get them in the non 'K' versions.

It's also £60 more with the box but I guess it is a nice box
