thermal paste

[Izzjess]

my e6600 didnt come with any. My friend said that it came with his amd processor. in the instruckions for my intell chip it doesnt say anything about thermal past. so do intels dual core not need any or do i need to try and find some elsewhere?

Post link to one you bought.

If its OEM it wouldn't come with a heatsink or Paste.
If its retail it should come with a heatsink and Paste pre applied.

And all Procs require Some type of thermal paste or pad.

The heatsink should come with it under the bottom.

All you gotta do is look. Its pre applied Like I said. Opening it helps....

BUt if you want to overclock it and overclock it well youll want an aftermarket heatsink with some artic silver 5.
