jus wanted to no would i need to buy thermal paste to connect the heatsink seperately or do these thiings come with it?

With a retail CPU yes there is thermal paste on the bottom of it. If in doubt flip the heatsink over and see if it has a grey square piece on it.

Yeah but that stuff is junk... I like to put my own stuff on for a decrease of 1C in temp... Not worth the effort unless you are really hardcore
