    If you're getting an MSI barebone notebook, don't worry. Heatsink & fan is included.

    I believe so, but I'm not 100% sure. Arctic Silver 5 works better than what's included, so just clean off your heatsink with alcohol and apply it. It's only $5 more.

    Seriously AS5 does some wonders, if you search for it in the forums here you'll find a good number of posts putting down what kind of differences they are seeing.
