Does the i7-4770k come with a CPU cooler?

John T Smith Sep 27, 2013 12:03 PM

Looking at the boxed i7-4770k http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116901 I do not find mention of an included CPU cooler

I am GUESSING this means that Intel does not have a CPU cooler in the retail box... is that correct?

No the CPU's dont come with an Intel Cooler anymore.

Thanks... that is what I thought, but wasn't sure... now just need to do some reading on 3rd party coolers

Actually they DO come with fan, heatsink and thermal paste. You can search for "i7 4770k unboxing" on Youtube for yourself.

Yep... 3 different videos all show a fan/heatsink in the retail box... I wonder if Eric is not seeing a fan/heatsink because ADK buys a "bulk" builder version?

Anyway... I do not overclock, and the full tower case I will someday buy for a new build has a 200mm side fan to blow cool air onto the CPU cooler, so I think the stock Intel cooler will be all I need http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119225

No I was thinking wrong since the socket 2011 dont come with a fan but the 1150's do. Sorry about that.

I am "pondering" the price/performance difference between an i7-4770k computer and an i7-4930k computer

Price is "about" $1,850 versus $2,250 so now I need to decide if my next "home video" computer needs to be the i7-4770k or an i7-4930k

I am NOT worried about the number of PCI lanes, since I will NOT have a RAID controller or anything else that would "steal" PCI lanes from an nVidia card

I have read someone say that the i7-4770k gives "90%" of the performance of the i7-4930k at "60%" of the price... which may be enough for my home video editing... unless I just decide to go ahead and build based on the 2011 platform versus the 1150 platform

I looked at a similar scenario myself recently. I settled on the 4770. For my needs, the very small performance improvement I'd see didn't justify the extra money for the 4930.

Now...just waiting for the checks to arrive so I can click Submit at Newegg...

My current working spreadsheet has a $375 difference... which is about what I would pay for a new "combo" still-video camera (Canon SX510) so still thinking

Hi I'm new to PC building/components. I have a question -- I see a lot of people on here interested in the 4770k 3.5ghz - why wouldn't you go for the newer 4790k 4.0ghz? It's only slightly more expensive.
