Just thought I'd toss this out to you guys since I just got burned. The Black Edition AMD processors, though labeled retail, do NOT include a heatsink and fan. I've been building systems for years and have always ordered retail processors when I only needed stock cooling. Well, now I have a system I need to get out and no freakin heatsink. I'm torqued!
look on the bright side, the stock heat sink and fan are not that good anyways. i got a gigabyte aftermarket cooler for like 23 bucks on newegg for my AMD,, and it runs much cooler and it is much quieter because it spins at 1000 rpm instead of 3000.
Well since you have to buy one now , get a good one. Are you going to overclock ? Anyways Sorry to hear that , I knowhow it is ready to put a system together only to find something missing that you forgot or didn't get.
