I was just about to install my new processor, but I have a question before I can start. I was going to get some thermal paste to apply to my processor but when I opened the package to my processor I saw that the heatsink already had a square of grayish stuff on the bottom and it would fit exactly over my processor if I were to installed it.
The instructions didn't mention manually applying thermal paste to the processor and just showed installing the processor and the heatsink as is.
So am I good? Do I need to apply extra thermal paste in case or is this enough.. or is this even thermal paste? Just wanting to make sure because I don't want to fry my CPU .
