NoviceNote - Some Ryzen CPUs ship without cooler (lemmy.world)

Bought a 5700X recently and was surprised to find that it came with no cooler! Luckily I had not shattered my old Ryzen 2200G cooler, so for the time being it is working. But this would have been a bad experience otherwise.

Even now I am not very happy.

Shoutout to pcpartpicker for putting a reminder in if the CPU doesn't include a stock cooler (just have to put a compatible motherboard in along with the CPU for it to warn)
