I read this verion *i7-13700 does come with a fan. is that true?

Hi, Billy. Thank you for the time you took to write to us. We are more than happy to assist you in making an informed decision. Correct, according to the information on our website, all Intel® Desktop Processors that have the letters K, KF, KS, XE, or X in their number are not shipped with Intel® Thermal Solution (fan heatsink). Meaning that if there are no letters K, KF, KS, XE, or X in their number it does come with Intel® Thermal Solution (fan heatsink). Please refer to our website here [ https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005940/processors.html ] Thank you for choosing Intel! Mariana_Intel

when choosing the i7 13700, is it best to get one with intergrated graphics or without, considering that I will be buying and installing a GPU?

Greetings from Intel team, Thank you for your question. The Intel® Core™ i7-13700 Processor is available in two variants: one with integrated graphics (i7-13700) and one without integrated graphics (commonly referred to as F-series, i7-13700F). When choosing between these two options, it depends on your specific needs and plans for your PC build. If you intend to use a dedicated GPU, such as an AMD Radeon or NVIDIA GeForce card, and have no intention of utilizing the integrated graphics for tasks like video output or basic display functions, then opting for the i7-13700F (without integrated graphics) can be a cost-effective choice. It typically comes at a slightly lower price point. Conversely, if you foresee scenarios where you might need to rely on integrated graphics temporarily (e.g., during GPU troubleshooting or while waiting for your dedicated GPU to arrive), or if you want the flexibility to use the integrated graphics for specific tasks, then choosing the standard i7-13700 (with integrated graphics) would be more suitable. In summary, the choice between the i7-13700 with integrated graphics and the i7-13700F without integrated graphics depends on your usage scenarios and whether you require the flexibility of integrated graphics in your system. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/230490/intel-core-i713700-processor-30m-cache-up-to-5-20-ghz.html Thank you for using intel.

Which processor suffix are these? K, F, KF, or ????

Greetings from Intel team, Thank you for your question. The Intel® Core™ i7-13700 Processor does not have a suffix like K, F, KF, or any other mentioned suffix. The suffix letters typically indicate specific features or characteristics of the processor, such as unlocked multiplier (K), absence of integrated graphics (F), or a combination of both (KF). However, in the case of the Intel® Core™ i7-13700 Processor, the suffix is not mentioned, suggesting that it may not have any specific suffix associated with it.
