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 does. It's Noctua's NT-H1 high-grade thermal compound. Good for 2-3 uses. It's listed below the weight and other parts included at the bottom.

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

if it's the same model that I got, then no. It comes coated with it's own thermal paste. Hope that helps!

Yes. The thermal paste is preapplied on the heatsink (with cooling fan attached).

The supplier I purchased from Digiconcepts provided Thermal Compound etc. but you have to apply it yourself.

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

Its preapplied. I was about to apply thermal paste i bought from best buy when i realized there was already some on it.

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

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.

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

These heatsinks actually came with pressure sensitive adhesive thermal pads. just remove paper and press on

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.
