i do hope the 9950 comes with one cause i want to get the fastest one  :)  the reason id rather it come with a hsf is cause i dont trust my self with putting the thermal stuff on if i would get a 3rd party hsf,i am afraid i might put too much on :(

 

thank you in advance for the help.

The first one comes with a stock HSF. 

 

It says so according to the top customer review.  :P

True i saw that too but when i do the selection thing like when ya do for example;

Desktop processors>AMD>AM2+>2.5GHz - 2.99GHz>with or without hsf> etc.  it dont show up when i select processors that come with a HSF. its the whole reason im asking,sorry i should of been more clear  :(

Yea, almost ALL of the "Retail" CPU's come with a cooler, just not allot of the BE CPU's (EG: 9850BE)

Ok thank you. So even though it dont say in the specs it will definitely come with a heat sink and fan?  sorry i dont mean to be a pest i just want to make sure  :(  it would be dissapointing if i would buy the CPU and get it and find out it dont have a hsf  :(

 

So if i understand right it would have to say for example Phenom 9950BE  not just Phenom 9950 for it not to come with a fan and heatsink? Sorry still learning all this new stuff  :)

yeah...anything that says "retail" should come with a hsf along with the cpu...everyone i have ever ordered has

 and yeah he meant if it doesnt say BE then you should be safe

Yes that retail box 9950 comes with a "stock" fan.

most retail box cpu's come with a fan.

No it isn't much good for overclocking, for that you need an aftermarket fan.

Yes the stock HSF is fine for "Stock" settings / daily use. 

Thank you.

Ill be useing it for gaming mostly.  and some movies.

The stock fan that comes with the 9850, 9950 Black Edition chips is substantially nicer than the stock heatsinks that come with their standard quad-cores. Obviously, an aftermarket cooler will give you even more overhead, but the cooler that comes with the above mentioned processors will allow you to do some overclocking(from 2.6 to about 2.9-3.2 depending on your chip)
