As indicated by the other answers it is already applied to the WB. Let me add that you need to be careful with the plastic protective cover over the paste as it seems to pop off pretty easily and the layer of (dry) paste can be scraped off accidentally. I would recommend adding a couple of pieces of electrical tape to help hold the cover in place until you are ready to attach it to the CPU. The stock paste seems to be doing acceptable job keeping my CPU cores cool. I'm not overclocking at present however. Your mileage may vary depending on what sort of system you put together and how you run it. As indicated by the other answers it is already applied to the WB.

When I ordered this item it did not come with thermal paste. I had to buy it seperately.

There is not an extra tube included, but there is thermal paste already applied to the fan.

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

gel pad was included. for me this was honestly a waste of money. i was surprised, given the excellent reviews. it was just too tight and cut off my circulation and my feet are not wide or big. hope this helps.

No It doesn't have external thermal paste. There is some included on the stock cooler if you use it.

feel a slight heat, you should use the gel or cream of your choice to hydrate your skin. Skin hydration improved much after a while of use

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.

It isnt necessary to use paste, because it isnt pc processor and it dont warm same pc processor. You need just to use the tape included.

Yes it has. Still, I bought a separate Arctic Silver 5 Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound Paste 3.5g which I ended up using on my old heatsink when I couldn't install this one on my computer.

Yes, it comes with thermal paste on it. If you're like me though you'll want to have a backup tube of the stuff handy, as I wasn't satisfied with the way I had installed it the first time and had to do some fiddling to get it just right. A small tube is cheap and handy to have around.

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. Best thermal compound for all CPU and heatsinks. Heat transfer is super great.

Yes, it does have thermal paste on the bottom, but I highly advise you to use some of your own. It always works better with more Thermal paste.

Ours contains gel beads which is designed to dissipate the heat. The mattress has been great!

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

This kit includes a stock cooler which has thermal paste pre-applied so you should not need anything more. Unless you want to apply your own thermal paste or a different cooling system.
