No it does not. It comes with a small tube of paste good for a couple of installs. Jerry

Yes but yould apply some third party thermal compound, like artic silver 5 at least, costs almost nothing and its good to have it at hand

If I remember, it does. Has a square of compound on the bottom. Just peal off plastic film. If not, I saw some pictures that showed a packet of compound.

Yes! It comes with paste pre-installed. I purchased some expensive thermal paste before I realized it wasn't necessary!

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.

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.

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.

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 comes with a little tube of thermal paste, which you apply before mounting

no, it comes with a heatsink with thermal paste already applied to it. However if you are going to use an aftermarket heatsink you will have to buy thermal paste and apply it to the processor. also if you see that a processor is an OEM part it will not come with a heatsink or thermal paste. This one is not OEM which means that its got all the required things to cool it.

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 compound included. Radio shack or local computer shop should have it for about $5.

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

Yes it comes with thermal paste no it isn't pre-applied. Anyhow arctic silver does a much better job than the stock cooler master paste. Not surprising since it's thrown in for free.
