It comes with a CPU cooler (heatsink+fan) which has a square of thermal compound pre-applied. I used a third party CPU Cooler though (Hyper 212 Evo) with Arctic Silver 5, though. **Q: Why is an intel processor incompatible with intel motherboards?** A: They are getting out of the market for motherboards.

Not the best value on the market compared to the Ryzen 5 2400G or 3400G, but offers similar performance to those CPU's. At the time of this review, those are much better values for building new PC's and include an upgrade path to CPU's with more cores, something that isn't doable with older Intel consumer platforms.The additional clock speed and hyperthreading definitely allow for snappier and smoother performance. Gaming performance is improved massively compared to the i5-4430 when it comes to the latest AAA games, with a 15-30 percent improvement in performance in older games that have little use for more than four threads.Installing it was easy. All it involved was swapping out the i5-4430 and inserting this CPU in its place along with a fresh application of thermal paste and reusing the original OEM HP cooler. It runs slightly hotter than the i5, but temps stayed below 70c even under intensive testing. Overall, I am very pleased with this processor.The i7-4790k was still over $200 at the time I did the upgrade, and that would have been the CPU I would have gone for had it been closer to the non-K version in price due to its additional performance.September 2020 Update: The PC this went in has been retired as of June 2020, but I enjoyed the short time I had it with this processor. My only regret is that I purchased the processor near the tail end of the HP Envy 700-074's useful life. I have since replaced it with a Ryzen 5 3600-based iBUYPOWER prebuilt, and I'm enjoying it as much as I enjoyed the Envy 700-074 in its early days of use in the fall of 2013. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente procesador, rapido, frio y economico. *by on Reviewed in Mexico 13 October 2015* Si necesitas de un procesador gama alta, pero que ademas sea bastante rapido (es quad core real) y sin problemas de sobrecalentamientos, este es tu procesador ideal.Me gusta- La mejor opcion en gama alta sino requieres overclock.- Aunque te digan mil y un cosas al armar una pc gamer, esta es la mejor opcion a futuro.- Rapido y sin sobrecalentamientos, el ventilador de serie incluido basta.No me gusta- Por el momento ninguno.Si estas armando un pc gamer o no gamer, este es el procesador ideal. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by on Reviewed in Canada 12 July 2015* Very nice.
