Hey there, i'm starting to build a new pc, and I've been picking the components very carefully and price checking different places for different parts. When i got to the CPU I got a tray Intel Core i5 750 SLBLC 1156 2.66Ghz and an accommodating fan to go with it, that is extra quiet, which i love. HOWEVER! I checked another store and there was the same CPU but in a BOX version, yet it was cheaper (in about 20$~).
My question is, do boxed processors come all assembled with the hsf already in the box? Can i still just use only the processor unit without the hsf that came in the box version and use my own fan that i chose? I'm assuming i can, but the question is how exactly do retail processors packed? will i have to disassemble an already assembled hsf to install my own or does it come disassembled already? Or maybe the boxed version's hsf is good and quiet enough already, in that case i will be saving even more money?
like i said, noob question. thanx in advance.
