It's my first build, so I'm not sure about a lot of things. Will more thermal paste be required to install than it comes with?

No. the stock heat sink has pre-installed thermal paste on it. (so good for a first timer). and if you are looking for a non OE heatsink i used the Arttic Freezer 7 Pro 2 (also has pre-installed thermal paste). it keeps my temps down quite a bit (average is around 40-50 Degrees C, which is pretty good). if you are going to be gaming with this CPU i suggest getting a non OE heatsink.

Yes & if you not an Overclocker it is just fine with stock heatsink and fan. Might want to consider purchasing a mounting plate, (I hate those plastic plugs) the clips provided are the weakest link in cooling processors if you don't have a fairly tight seal you heat up quick.

Yes, make sure to update to the newest bios before installing CPU and apply a very good quality of thermal compound to CPU. Thanks, Discount18

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

Don't know precisely but I can tell you that you will most likely need low-profile RAM. The fan extends out over the RAM slots on many boards.

I believe this particular one is bare-bones, and doesn't come with any pre-applied TIM. Even if it did, I always recommend applying your own, and monitor your temps carefully, reapplying the TIM if necessary until you see satisfactory temps. Most thermal paste you could buy is "good enough" for most applications, but in your case I'd recommend Arctic Silver or some other metal-ish paste for the best heat transfer. That heatsink will work on most 95w cpu's, but will struggle with quad cores. Anything more than a mild overclock is not recommended.

I am not qualified to answer that. The machine as it comes will not go any cooler. I am checking into changing some of the components but i'm not sure it is worth putting more money into and many people would be unable to change some of the parts.

This kit came with a little heat sink. I overclocked it and the heat sink barely even warms up I don't think a fan would be a great investment for this setup. Not to mention you wouldn't be able to close the case being it is very tight as is.

There is no additional thermal compound included just the small amount that is on the heatsink. Unless you are going to use a different heatsink or attempt to overclock the CPU there should be sufficient thermal compound on the factory heatsink.

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

Absolutely a must, arctic silver is better than the white kind, but I suppose as long as you have something there to transfer the heat from cpu to heat sink it should be ok

it's 80mm and very quiet so it can't be much (on their site it lists as 1200RPM, but no CFM rating. and 26.5dBA), however after installing it I saw avg CPU temps drop 3-4 degrees C, as well as internal temps by several degrees. My video card splits the case in half so there was less air intake for the upper half (intake fans are on lower half). This gets air to the heatsinks for all the motherboard chipsets and RAM which is then sucked out the back quite nicely.

Be sure CPU is clean, no residue from prior builds.Add a Small Pea Sized amount of Thermal Paste.It should not be oozing out from under the cooler plate.

This should already have some thermal paste pre-applied on the heatsink. All new CPU's that include heatsinks will either have it pre-applied or in a small pouch.

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

Yes, all Intel chips have thermal paste already applied to the heatsink. After you install the CPU, just place the heatsink on the CPU. No need to apply additional paste.

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