CPU... Heatsink... no termal paste??

[Kdar]

I got CPU and there was no thermal paste?
Is it normal? I mean the stock Heat Sink...

With Stock Heat Sink I dont need thermal paste?

 

[fr34ky]

Artic silver 5 is like $5.99
Just look on newegg i think ur capable.

It didnt come with a thermal pad or anything? If it came with one, go ahead and use it, if not go out and buy some thermal past like fr34ky said.

Are you saying there's no thermal paste or theres no stock heatsink?

Whatever it is just go buy something cause your going to fry your processor either way

Heatsinks don't ship with thermal paste, they ship with a thermal pad already on the bottom of the heatsink. Using thermal paste is optional but if you want to use it get some Arctic Silver 5 and follow the directions on the Arctic Silver website.

My amd came with a pad of thermal paste stuck right on the CPU out of the Retail Box

 

[Tordenskjold]

if you have a rubber thermal pad underneath you dont need ot use thermal paste im pretty sure..

 

[Kdar]

Oh ok.. thks.

 

[thebleakness]

So did it have the thermal pad? Or did you have to buy some paste?
