Was I lied to? Stock fan i5 6600 thermal paste fan

Fuzzyedp · Nov 21, 2016

I bought it on eBay the guy told me it was brand new but isn't it suppose to look like goo? The surface looks smooth like nothing on there. On phone right now but trying to post the pics

I apologize with the pics it's kinda hard to type on the forum with the phone and upload the pics I had to use an uploading site

That's not new , should have pre-installed paste.

Return it , has been installed before.

weberdarren97 · Nov 21, 2016

Oh, the image was added after I first replied. There is no paste on your cooler. It has been used.

Actual 6600 cooler with paste pre-applied.

You need to be careful on eBay. Some sellers will list their items as new even if they're used. I honestly don't recommend using eBay at all anymore. Sites like Craigslist are good for local listings and Newegg is good for national/global stuff.

The fan doesn't look right and should have an intel sticker in the center.

To be honest, this cooler doesn't look Intel at all. It looks like it was pulled off of one of those little Rockminer BTC mining things.

The whole thing is a sham , I'd get your money back.

Thanks guys for the response, i went to buy a thermal paste. I was wondering about the heatsink apparently its a
ASUS M32ad Desktop OEM Intel Cooling Fan Heatsink 13071-00360000 1417 I'm curious to know will this still work with my motherboard/cpu?

Your motherboard won't support the CPU as it only supports 4th gen processors. i5-6600 is skylake, 6th generation. Also if the CPU was new it would still have the security seal on it. I'd suggest returning the CPU, updating the bios and pick up an i5-4690.

I spoke to the guy he said he now has a i7-6700k the booklet manual it came with did confirm it was an i7

My motherboard is a MSI Gaming Intel Skylake H110 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 Micro ATX Motherboard (H110M Gaming)

This is such a hassle.. i swear, a bit disheartening in wanting to build a computer again ive bought 3 things that were suppose to be "brand new" But i received them used.. i used other site like amazon still had the same results.. who knows maybe i'm that unlucky. I have nothing to lose.. if the i5 6600 doesn't work i'll just return it and try to find i5-4690.. sigh...

Little confused here. I thought you were upgrading the CPU in your OEM desktop (ASUS M32ad). Before upgrading always look at the CPU support list and update the bios to avoid frustration. As for the MSI Gaming H110 it will support the i5-6600 all the way up to an i7-6770K, just can't overclock it.

First, return everything and get your money back. The seller is obviously completely full of crap (it's not a new fan and it's not an Intel fan at all), so why believe him about anything?

Overall, your story is very confusing... in your first post you talk about a 6600 cooling fan, but your final post is talking about in i7-6600k booklet. I honestly have no idea what your actual purchase consisted of.

I bought the i5 6600 cpu i manage to just buy a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO along with it, Best decision i made so far it kept my cpu fan cooling greatly. As for the i7 6600k booklet the guy was just lazy, upgraded his and just put whatever in the box, I was refunded fully, and got a huge discount on a new cpu to solve my problem with the fan and such. The seller admitted it was his fault and i'm now happy with my purchase.

Glad to hear it's all good now.
