The CPU comes with thermal paste which you have to apply after setting it into the MoBo.

So you mean the thermal paste is in the box?

Retail CPUs that come with heat sinks normally come with thermal paste pre-applied. OEM processors (no heat sink) may or may not. Either way, It's a good idea to have some available since if you ever remove the heat sink after it's come into contact with the processor, you'll need to remove the paste and re-apply it.
