Hey guys! I am just curious if I need to buy a separate thermal paste other then the one that comes with the cpu cooler? Iam not planning on overclocking and I am pretty much only going to use my build for gaming and school work! Thanks!
 
Solution
If you are using stock cpu cooler(already pre-applied paste), I do suggest replace it with better paste. however, for your needs, no OC, you will be fine with what it comes stock. Keep an eye on the temp after your installation. Make sure the cooler is fully sitted is very important.
GL on your build.
