Questions about this item

Does the OEM Core i3-6100 (CM8066201927202) include a heatsink or thermal paste, or must they be purchased separately?

This OEM tray processor ships without a heatsink or thermal paste; a compatible LGA 1151 cooler and thermal compound must be bought separately.

Should I choose the 3.7 GHz Core i3-6100 or a higher-clocked Skylake i5 for a dual-core, four-thread desktop build?

The Core i3-6100 runs at a fixed 3.7 GHz with 3 MB cache; if your workload needs higher single-thread speed or more cores, a Skylake Core i5 would be the appropriate step up.
