I'm a newbie about ready to build a computer (and about ready to buy the parts) -- does the retail processor box comes with thermal compound either on the processor or as a tube? (i.e. will i need to buy any?). Sorry if this is the wrong forum ...
 
The retail heatsink comes with a thermal pad on it. No need for thermal paste if you use the retail heatsink unless you are going to remove the thermal pad.

How about ordering two of them and hooking me up?

THREE - COUNT ME IN!!!

Most motherboards come with a tube as well, and if you're going to end up buying a new HSF setup, you'll probably need some more paste, it can be had for about 1.5 for the single application type...good luck
