Do Retail AMD CPU's come with thermal paste?

Do the retail AMD processors that come with heatsink and fan also come with the thermal paste?
The heatsinks come with a thermal pad already attached to them.

Alright, thanks. I didn't know because I haven't ever built an AMD setup before.
 
Maybe ya should have tried ONE thread 😛!

But yes they come with a thermal pad just like the Intel Retail HSF, you can scrape it off and use ASIII for a little cooler temps, When ever you take off the HSF with a thermal pad you have to replace it (another pad, or grease)
