OEM CPU, what the difference?

[TheArchon]

Any notable difference between AMD OEM processor to BOX or retail? can someone please explain this to me...

Thanks

The retail CPU includes the fan and the heatsink.

Nothing is as easy as it looks

Retail is the way to go if you're not overclocking.
If you are overclocking you might wanna go with OEM because you're gonna end buying a better heatsink for the CPU

Retail has 3 year warrenty, I'm not sure what the OEM one has - but it is not 3 years.

Boxed comes with a cooler and with 3 year warranty.

OEM is 90 days for AMD at least.
