Intel Heatsink?

I'm interested in buying an E6400 (intel Core 2 duo, 2Ghz) because of it's extremely good overclockability, with an Intel heatsink.

I'm just wondering, what is an Intel Heatsink, and does it come on ALL motherboards, or what?

 

Heatsinks come with all CPU's (processors).

Anyway for more info on heatsinks have a look at

I've never purchased a CPU before, and in the guides they never say you get one.

I know how they work. So with ALL intel CPUs you get this "Intel Heatsink" they talk about in ocing tutorials?

 

you'll get a heatsink if you get the retail package (ie in the fancy-pants box); OEM procs come alone

the Conroe core procs (core 2) tend to do very well on just air cooling so id see how your temps are before getting a new heatsink for overclocking

 

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting one of those Zalman Heatsinks with a whoppin' big fan on the top, just to be safe.

I just wanted to know if they were talking about that.

Thanks everyone.
