Q: Does it come with cooler?

Yes it comes with a cooler, with pre-applied thermal paste

Q: Is this a chipset b660? I have the same motherboard that’s offered in the bundle but my box says chipset b660. I’m a first time pc builder.

A processor has no one chipset. Chipsets are tied to a socket layout and are chosen by the motherboard manufacturer for specific features any one chipset may offer. Typically, a socket will support 3-5 chipsets. The B660 Chipset is made for LGA1700 Processors, of which the i3-12100F is one. So TL;DR: Yes, the motherboard in the bundle works with this processor. The chipset is made for the socket that the processor has.
