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.

Isn't that the difference between the boxed and tray versions? Boxed come with a cooler, tray doesn't but is cheaper because of it.

This was boxed. Except the space where cooler sits is empty.
