    What's even more surprising, is that packages of the i7-6700K and i5-6600K, which feature unlocked base-clock multipliers, making them primed for overclocking, do not include stock cooling solutions.

     
     
    Sounds like low competition has made them start cheapening out on including coolers....?

    Copied from TechPowerUp:

    "Intel Core "Skylake" Retail Boxes Surprisingly Colorful

    The retail packaging of Intel's 6th generation Core "Skylake" processors in the LGA1151 package, will be surprisingly colorful, and a throwback to the pre-Pentium 4 era, according to spy-shots of the retail boxes of the upcoming Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K. What's even more surprising, is that packages of the i7-6700K and i5-6600K, which feature unlocked base-clock multipliers, making them primed for overclocking, do not include stock cooling solutions. Their retail packages resemble those of Intel's Core i7 HEDT processors. In the box, you'll find just the processor, its case-badge, and basic documentation.

    Both the Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K feature the same integrated graphics SKU - HD Graphics 530. Both feature integrated memory controllers that support both DDR3L and DDR4 memory types. The Core i5 predictably lacks HyperThreading, and only features 6 MB of L3 cache, while the Core i7 features HyperThreading, and the full 8 MB present on the chip. The "Skylake" silicon will be built on the 14 nm process."

    Taking the information from the article that is meant to show something, like a change in aesthetics on an item, and displaying it in the thread would make these posts much more pleasing and much much less spammy.

    So does this mean that Intel has no claims when we use our own coolers on these? After all, they aren't providing one.

    Not like these boxes are typically on public display, so it seems like a waste of resources to me.
