Does this come with the thermal compound already on the chip?

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

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.

No, it is only the processor. But a good cooler is easy to find. But it is until now an exellent processor for Am3 boards.

Yes. This processor contains a thermal solution (fan, heat sink and paste).

There's a patch of compound on the heat sink... If you don't use the stock heat sink you'll need some additional paste

Ya, seems to be standard for this chip I purchased a larger heatsink for it as well as changed fan speeds to keep it a little lower. Doesn't change the temp much but works well for extended use.

It appears to be, from other vendor sites. Be sure to use Arctic Silver, and a copper shim(which helps with heat dispersion) on the video chip, if you want this to last a long time.

No it does not. Just the thermal paste, an antishock bracelet, and some stickers to put on your case with "Intel".

The fan and heatsink come with it, yes. along with pre-applied thermal paste.

Yes, If it is with the stock intel cooler..the thermal paste is already on the fan assembly

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.

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

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.

Only what is on the cooler, so it has already been applied. If you planning on using any other cooler rather than the included one then you should buy the compound separably, I hope that helps

The heatsink has some on it already but it does not come with a separate tube of paste.

Yes it come with the heatsink fan, but not 100% sure about the thermal paste.
