The Cooler Master Hyper 212 comes with it's own thermal compound so follow the mounting instructions and use it.

The GPU is sealed in the box with the thermal compound already installed.

Yes - when you put a new cooler on you must clean off the old thermal paste from the cpu with isopropyl alcohol.
The put a peas size drop of new Arctic Silver 5 on the cpu and fit the new cooler. Plug the cooler fan into the motherboard cpu fan header.

Yes, you need thermal paste for mounting the cooler over the CPU, not only for overclocking, but also for stock speeds. Some coolers come with pre applied thermal paste. For most cases, it is enough. If your cooler doesn't come with thermal paste, you have to buy one and apply it yourself.
