Yes it does, mine came in a little rip open thing, kinda like a wetnap package.

It comes with the heat sink and the thermal paste already applied. You just put the processor in the socket and put the heat sink on top. The thermal paste is pre applied on the heat sink.

it has pre-applied thermal paste on the heatsink, but I always recommend getting your own and cleaning theirs off, putting your own on, if you know how. If you are not familiar with this process, leave the OEM thermal paste in place, it will do an ok job.

If you use the fan/heatsink that comes with the CPU, it has thermal compound on it - which is all that I used.

Even though the stock heatsink comes with thermal paste already on,I remove it using a heatsink prep kit.It comes with special cleaning & surface prep fluids that work very well,far better then just rubbing alcohaul.After I prep it, I always use Artic Silver #5. In my opinion, it's the best on the market. I've seen the difference in cooling using it. Building for 25 years now :)

It depends on the seller, if you buy new it will come with a stock cooler and pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler.

Thermal paste is supplied, in a tube. It is not pre-applied to the heat sink.

No fan included. It comes with thermal paste. You must buy your own fan. New fans usually come with pre applied thermal paste.

No, it comes with thermal paste on the copper block for you. All you do is take the little plastic cover off of it, plop it down on your CPU, and then do the appropriate mounting procedures for your particular CPU.

Yes it comes with a heat sink & fan. They are adequate for normal use. However if you intend to overclock I would recommend an upgrade to at least a heat-pipe type of cpu cooler.

When you purchase this item it comes with its own heatsink, this heatsink has thermal paste already applied to it. If you want to use a different, higher grade heatsink, you will need to purchase your own thermal paste.

Yes, it came with the heat sink, fan and the thermal pad on the bottom of the heat sink. (Not thermal paste)

Thankfully the thermal compound is not pre applied on the heatsink. It comes in a little plastic sleeve, seperatly. I would definitely apply the artic silver 5 compound instead of what comes with the heatsink. By the way this closed loop cooler is AWESOME. Lemme know if you have any other questions about it.

It comes with a heatsink, not case fan... I don't like stock heatsinks though so I got a corsair liquid cooling system instead.

As with most CPU fans, these also come with a pre-applied paste on the block. Granted, there are those out there who would still suggest picking up some Arctic silver 5 (or what ever brand you prefer) and wiping off the "generic" paste and using that instead. Just make sure you clean off the block with some isopropyl alcohol to remove all of the old thermal Paste.

no you have to supply your own thermal paste. There's instructions on youtube if you are wondering how to do it. it essence when you buy the paste you will have a plastic template put a generous blob of paste on top of the CPU and spread it around liberally with the template in place so that you are sure all of it is covered. Attach the fan to the top of this and screw it into position. Motherboards and fans do vary a lot so don't take my passing advice google exactly how to do it for your motherboard and fan/cooler as there's loads of video tutorials on youtube. I won't be held responsible for cooked CPU's. no you have to supply your own thermal paste.
