Hello,
I am going to be building my gaming PC and not sure about the thermal paste. So my simple question is: Is the Thermal Paste that comes with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Heatsink good to use on a i5 3570k Quad Core? Or should I look into a different one? If I look into a different one, what would you recommend?
I would also OC my CPU to 3.9 - 4.0.
Here are the parts I plan to start out with.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($219.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($114.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($64.99 @ Newegg)

Monitor: ASUS VN247H-P 24-Inch LED-Lit Monitor ($189.00 @Amazon)
Optical Drive: AsusDRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($19.96 @ OutletPC)
TOTAL (ESTIMATE): $1,640.54
I do plan on upgrading:

Cooler Master's retail thermal IceFusion paste didn't seem to fair as well as alternatives here:

It wasn't too much different than Arctic Silver 5, which has been the benchmark of comparison for a long long time though, so you'll probably be okay.

Would you put this in a vertical line, or a pea size dot in the middle of the CPU?

I've only ever used the stuff that came with that cooler once on a 3770K build for a friend that is running at 4,0ghz,I told him to keep an eye on his temps it's been more than six months I assume he's still getting around 20c at idle he has a push/pull using two fans.What is a good temp to be at? Also, did u do a vertical line or dot to spread the paste?

I used grain of rice and spread it to a coat with a plastic bag (kind of the old way but it's never let me down with a silver paste I just use a pea size dab and let the cooler spread it out) most people I've talked to said that 3570K has been giving them a temp range 40c to 42c under load with the Evo and the Hyper that was with overclocks of 4.2 to 4.5.
