Does this come pre-applied with thermal paste?

Yes it does. I had bought Arctic paste not knowing whether there was paste and deciding that if there was paste, and it did not work well, I would use the Arctic.The pre-applied paste works well with temperatures under Aida64 Extreme reaching a max of 59 deg C. I now have a spare pack of paste.

It came with pre cut thermal tape attached to back of heatsinks, all you need to do is peel other side of tape backing and stick onto CPU, Ethernet, and voltage regulator.

This comes with the heat sink paste already applied. You can easily pick up a tube separately if you feel you might need it in the future, but this item does not come with a separate tube of it.

Yes it comes with the stock fan and the thermal paste is already on the cooler so you don't need any thermal paste.

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.

I believe it comes applied to the cooler. You can never have enough thermal paste though. =)

Comes with the stock cooler, no thermal paste. If you are going to overclock I recommend upgrading the cooler.

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

Yes. "Processor in a box" retail comes with heatsink/fan and pre-applied thermal pad.

Yes its called thermal paste. Arctic Silver is a good one. Not too much though... you don't want it spilling out over sides, just a nice even layer.

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.

Fine choice of processor, and you can overclock it. Yes I believe it does come with thermal paste.

If you're asking how big the thermal paste pad is on the base, it doesn't have one. You'll have to apply your own thermal paste. I use silicone grease in a very thin X pattern, for great results.

Yes... but I'd recommend replacing it. The thermal paste is on the stock cooler. It comes in three thick bands with gaps in between them. I'd recommend at least spreading these out to cover the entire CPU before installing. I removed the stock paste completely and went with my own application to ensure even coverage.

The pre applied thermal paste is low quality. Your fan will scream at very high rpm because of using it. Clean it off, get some high quality thermal paste, your temps will be much lower. See my review on this product.
