Does this come with a thermal paste?

it comes with some on the heat sink... but not a separate tube for you to apply manually
1572651
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.
1572652
The heatsink has some on it already but it does not come with a separate tube of paste.
1572653
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.
1572654
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.

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.
1572656
Yes, If it is with the stock intel cooler..the thermal paste is already on the fan assembly
1572657
It came with a small amount prespread on. If I remember. If you're iffy about it just buy some arctic silver. It's not expensive and a good idea if you want to spread a wee bit more.

Yes it is, you don't need to buy another one, and i3-2120 is a low heat CPU, you don't need to buy CPU fan too (it already has one)

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

Mine came with a small packet of thermal paste. It was enough to try twice or so to get a good seal on the processor.

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

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.

Yes, the fan is pre-attached to the heat-sink and includes pre-applied thermal paste. However, I would recommend an aftermarket cooler for over clocking.

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.

it does come with thermal compound but i always buy more great cooler tho... just make sure there is ample room

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

Yes. It comes with a Cooler Master heat sink / fan combo that has a few heat pipes and thermal compound pre-applied. With the stock heat sink my CPU temp (at 4.2 GHz) at idle is only 34 C and so far has only gotten up to 45 C when gaming.

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

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

Yes, the thermal paste is a patch approximately 1 inch square and works very well to help keep the CPU cool.
1022050
Yes, It comes with a stock cooler with thermal paste pre-applied. All you have to do is simply snap the cooler on place and plug it in. very simple.

Yes it does come with pre-applied thermal paste on the sink with fan included. you can always clean it off and use your own thermal paste but why? the cooling is sufficient. under heavy load when i play games, it never goes over 60C. just make sure your case has good cooling and/or airflow. it may get hotter if u do things such as 3d editing and etc in which others have noted so watch out for that. just use HWMonitor to monitor your temps. it's a free software.

Yes, it comes with the stock Intel heatsink/fan CPU cooler. It is an effective and fairly quiet cpu cooler.

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