Question: Does the Processor come with a Fan, Heatsink, and Thermal Paste or do I have to buy either or all of those separately?
Document: The CPU works great fro my asus motherboard fast and rather easy to put in with steady hands. The only problem i had was the heatsink fan and thermal paste. First the fan didnt work and it didnt have enough paste either. But That didnt matter to me cause i bought an after market cooler master heatsink fan.
I did not buy this from Amazon. Bought the i5-3570K for my first system build. Very easy to install. Comes with a stock heatsink with thermal paste applied--which I did not use. I have this cooled with a Corsair H60. Asrock z77 Extreme4 motherboard and Corsair 500R case. I overclocked this easily in UEFI to 4.2ghz by increasing the multiplier. Like I said, first system and first overclock. Was easy. Did not have to change any other settings.
Got to it 4.5ghz on 1.3volts and is under 70C on load. Really nice processor aside from the issue with the thermal paste with the HSF.
i wanted to go with an i7 but i went with the i5 and couldn't be more happy with it. i am a first time builder and i have to say this is a great processor! i have been able to do Skyrim, Crysis 3, Far cry 3, and supreme commander forged alliance without any slowness. 3.4Ghz is more than enough speed so no need to overclock it. in the box: the processor in a protective plastic case, and the CPU Stock Cooler with Thermal paste pre applied.
This is an incredible upgrade from my old build that housed an AMD Athalon x2. I love the transfer rates and video transcoding in a flash. This processor is bound to be efficient and fast for years to come. It was easy to install and came with a stock fan that I would recommend replacing if you plan to overclock the chip. Other than that, its a great value for incredible speed and versatility.
I purchased this with the Asus motherboard and messed around with the fan controller of the BIOS. Needless to say, the i5-3570K is made for overclocking, which is what the K stands for. So if you're getting this, throw out the stock fan and replace it with a heatsink. Any heatsink fan is better than the stock fan, in fact, with experimentation, I found out that what keeps the CPU in cooler temps with stock ingredients is the heatsink itself.
Excellent processor of course, the only downside really is it comes with a lousy CPU mount. Yawn, no one that buys this is really going to use it as it isn't good for overclocking which most people that buy this are going to do. So that's my only complaint as it should have an option to buy it without the fan to keep the cost down.
Good packaging that included the cooler heatsink and fan along with the CPU. Installed on the Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H MB without an issue.
Works as intended (which is great).The stock fan/heatsink that comes with this chip is absolute crap, but you probably already knew it would be since you are building your own computer.
The Intel Core i5-3570k has exceed my expectations. I expect this processor to be relevant for a few years to come. Easy to overclock, even with the stock cooler, seems to do a good job.
Answer: Yes, the fan is pre-attached to the heat-sink and includes pre-applied thermal paste. However, I would recommend an aftermarket cooler for over clocking.
