A: Yes it comes with a cooler, with pre-applied thermal paste

**Q: Is it unlocked?**
A: Hello. Thanks for your question. The Intel® Core™ i3-12100F processor is not part of the unlocked models. The ones with the letter K are the ones with the unlocking capacity, the letter F means that the processor does not come with an integrated graphics card. Here are the specifications for this product. [ https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/132223/intel-core-i312100f-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-30-ghz.html ]. Thank you for choosing Intel

**Q: Is this a chipset b660? I have the same motherboard that’s offered in the bundle but my box says chipset b660. I’m a first time pc builder.**
A: A processor has no one chipset. Chipsets are tied to a socket layout and are chosen by the motherboard manufacturer for specific features any one chipset may offer. Typically, a socket will support 3-5 chipsets. The B660 Chipset is made for LGA1700 Processors, of which the i3-12100F is one. So TL;DR: Yes, the motherboard in the bundle works with this processor. The chipset is made for the socket that the processor has.
