what makes the AMD Processor in a Box different ?

What benefits does this give?

Would this need a processor fan?

Thanks,
Gavin

Last time I checked, retail processors came in a box with a fan from
the manufacturer. This makes things a bit easier. They also come
with a sticker for your case that says "intel inside" or "AMD", or
something like that. ;-)

I typically buy retail boxed versions, because they're not much more
money, and I don't overclock or obsess about noise, so the "stock" fan
is "good enough". They also seem to be packed better, so would seem
to be more likely to arrive intact.

3 year AMD warranty try getting a shop to refund/replace a faulty oem cpu
they sold you. Also peace of mind the boxed cpu comes sealed so you know it
has not been swapped/used/returns/rma. And the price difference is almost
nothing when the price of a hsf is added to the oem .
