    While I definitely agree that it'd be better if intel (and AMD for that matter) would stop shipping heatsinks, what a lot of you don't realize is regardless of you THINKING they're bad, they're sufficient and were packaged with the CPU to help protect these companies from stupid people who put on the wrong heatsink, or didn't put one on at all. Yes, the CPU will run hot, but it should still perform fine.

    If you really want to avoid getting heatsinks, go with server models. Many of those don't come with one.

    I agree that they should be sent with the non K models but anybody buying a K model should know what theyre doing since theyre made for overclocking.

    ^Actually I was surprised how cool a10-7850k is on stock cooler + stock clock. With custom fan profile like on MSI boards you can keep it under 60°C while gaming on APU = CPU+iGP.

    But yes, I believe they should have availability of same CPUs with and without cooler.
