does this come with the cpu paste?

As it's not an OEM Processor came with something that it works as a CPU Paste, so you don't need to add anything else, but if you want additional paste, fell free to do it, it's make no real difference

There is heat compound fixed to the heat sink so you should not need anything else.

There's a patch of compound on the heat sink... If you don't use the stock heat sink you'll need some additional paste

It comes with a fan that already has thermal paste on it, but get another fan and another thermal paste, I had a bad experience with the stock fan and thermal paste. also don't get this, I regretted getting this, just spend another 50 on 6300 or 100 on 8320 or 8350

Yes. However you have to make a request or email after placing order to get thermal paste. thanks....Mega Micro Devices Inc.

No, it does not. You will have to buy that separately. I re-used an i7-3770K processor for an older machine I scrapped, but any LGA-1155/Socket 1155 processor should work fine.

The fan and heatsink come with it, yes. along with pre-applied thermal paste.

There is no fan, heat sink, or Thermal Paste included with this CPU. The original fan and heat sink may be used, or upgraded if you prefer. I upgraded to a new, copper-core, finned aluminum heat sink with ball-bearing fan (Intel #D74883-001) to go with the E8400 chip upgrade. Easy install. Clean off the old thermal paste with a clean paper towel dampened with isopropyl alcohol. A pea-sized dot of Arctic MX-4 Thermal Paste applied to the center of the heat sink will stay good for up to 8 years, according to the manufacturer. My old DELL is running faster and cooler than ever, at a cost of less than $50. There is no fan, heat sink, or Thermal Paste included with this CPU.

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 small fan and thermal Paste which didn't work well. I bought a larger fan and a thermal gel kit to clean off the paste and thermal gel to apply between the and the processor.

Yes. Go to cpuupgrade.com and put in your board and it will list the processors.

Yes, use this method for all cpu's. This thermal compound is excellent; very smooth and fluid. You don't need much, just a pea size amount and form a thin film on the CPU.

No, all new CPU's should come with the CPU, a fan/heatsink, and install instructions

Yes, it does. It's still working , must have been 2 years since i bought this cpu.

It has paste already applied on one side. If I remember correct there is a tab you peel off before you clamp the processor down.

Yes, it does. I'm not sure there are very many processors that don't come with that anymore.

No, I bought one same time I got this because it had in the description, "What's in the Box" Just CPU and manual. Stock one is terrible anyway. I think if you really want the stock one you can get it under 5 bucks.. But you really don't want it, Better to spend an extra 10-15 bucks for a better one. "Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO" is what I used on it, and fits my upgrade to a 6 core. This CPU is still being used in my bands studio recording PC.

Yes, Bob. The fan assembly I received actually included a tiny packet of "thermal paste". Check-out "http://www.ehow.com/how_6870400_install-775-cpu-fan.html" for a little more help if you need it.

No. Only the processor is included. Fin fan and thermal paste are sold separately.
