If it's got a covered pad on the bottom of the HSF, you don't need thermal paste. If it doesn't you do. Most OEM ones do come with the thermal pad these days.

Cheers Timo, that's what I thought. my recent purchase of an i5 came with a thermal paste syringe but from the description my mate gave me, I think that there is a pad. I'll need to look at it before I say yay or nay. -- Cab

If he's buying it from somewhere that splits OEM trays and bungs in a heatsink of their choice then your in lucky dip territory. |
