Will a thermal pad be fine?

My CPU http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G3420-BX80646G3420/dp/B00EUVHMR4/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1405732225&sr=1-8&keywords=LGA1150+processors+intel+hd+graphics comes with a thermal pad instead of paste. Considering my CPU will be UNDERclocked and never running games, only Ubuntu console, should I get the paste for heat reduction?

The amount of paste used for the cooler it's perfectly fine, don't worry the engineers from Intel took care of that. Those CPU's are meant to work with the stock coolers.

No need for the paste. Your isn't gonna take a huge load anyways. Thermal pad will do the job as long as you don't run your CPU at 90%+ usage all the time, which is unnecessary. Hope this helps.
