If it comes with a stock cooler, then yes. stock coolers come with paste already applied to the bottom. If it doesn't come with a stock cooler, than no. It does not come with thermal paste.

However, I would highly recommend using an aftermarket cooler with the 8350. Such as the Coolermaster 212+ or Evo. Both of which do come with a small tube of thermal paste.

Why? Does the stock heatsink not do the job efficiently? I'm a first-time builder and my CPU (AMD FX 8350) was just delivered. The rest of my parts should be here in a few days, but I've been familiarizing myself with my CPU/heatsink package. Will my my heatsink keep my CPU cool enough? What about if I overclock?
