Haven't heard of any cpus not coming with stock coolers but I get a warning from PCPartPicker that the 6600K doesn't. Wonder if they just don't have the info since it just launched.


Here's also the overall build in case anyone has any suggestions.

Yes, it's in the AnandTech review, although I missed it the first time through:

Aside from changing the graphics on the box, it has been reported – and seemingly confirmed by the thinner boxes in the official pictures from Intel – that these processors will not be shipped with a stock Intel cooler. Users will have to purchase third party coolers.

It's funny how they jack the price up AND jack you out of a cooler too. Stock coolers arent great but they do have some utility value, especially after you upgrade and want to transfer your cooler to a new system.
 
My 5930K Haswell-E didn't come with a stock cooler, so I went with a Corsair 110i GTX AiO solution. So far, so good.
