does this cpu come with thermal paste?

No, none came with my order. Had to borrow some from a friend, it's pretty cheap so I'd get some just in case.

It is. It comes with a CPU cooler (heatsink+fan) which has a square of thermal compound pre-applied. I used a third party CPU Cooler though (Hyper 212 Evo) with Arctic Silver 5, though.

There is no fan, heat sink, or Thermal Paste included with this CPU. The original fan and heat sink may be used, or upgraded if you prefer. I upgraded to a new, copper-core, finned aluminum heat sink with ball-bearing fan (Intel #D74883-001) to go with the E8400 chip upgrade. Easy install. Clean off the old thermal paste with a clean paper towel dampened with isopropyl alcohol. A pea-sized dot of Arctic MX-4 Thermal Paste applied to the center of the heat sink will stay good for up to 8 years, according to the manufacturer. My old DELL is running faster and cooler than ever, at a cost of less than $50. There is no fan, heat sink, or Thermal Paste included with this CPU.

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

no you have to supply your own thermal paste. There's instructions on youtube if you are wondering how to do it. it essence when you buy the paste you will have a plastic template put a generous blob of paste on top of the CPU and spread it around liberally with the template in place so that you are sure all of it is covered. Attach the fan to the top of this and screw it into position. Motherboards and fans do vary a lot so don't take my passing advice google exactly how to do it for your motherboard and fan/cooler as there's loads of video tutorials on youtube. I won't be held responsible for cooked CPU's.

Yes...If it's described as a retail processor it comes with a heat sink fan.

It depends on the seller, if you buy new it will come with a stock cooler and pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler.

As it's not an OEM Processor came with something that it works as a CPU Paste, so you don't need to add anything else, but if you want additional paste, fell free to do it, it's make no real difference

Yes, the thermal paste is a patch approximately 1 inch square and works very well to help keep the CPU cool.

Yes. It is a retail processor so it comes with a heatsink/fan combo made for this processor specifically.

It comes with the heat sink and the thermal paste already applied. You just put the processor in the socket and put the heat sink on top. The thermal paste is pre applied on the heat sink.

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.

The thermal paste is pre-applied to the included heat sink and fan. If you are going to use a different cooling solution, you may need your own paste.

It does not. You fan find an Intel one here: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-BXRTS2011AC-Thermal-Solution-Air/dp/B006588YUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393305187&sr=8-1&keywords=lga+2011+cpu+fan

Yes, it does have thermal paste on the bottom, but I highly advise you to use some of your own. It always works better with more Thermal paste.

I believe mine was just the CPU, and we used an old fan. We bought thermal paste separately.
