Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro- no need to buy thermal paste?

This is my first build and I plan on getting a Q6600 and an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (as I've heard it's quieter than the stock fan/heatsink). I read the the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro comes with MX-1 thermal paste pre-applied on the copper base. Does mean I do not need to buy additional thermal paste to apply on the CPU or do I need to apply it in addition to the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm about to purchase the two and don't want to end up installing it incorrectly and cause the components to overheat.

Also, I'm curious if the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro is really quieter than the stock fan/heatsink? I don't plan on overclock, I just wanted to build a quieter computer. I'm aiming for near silence.

Thanks!

I'll confirm that it has Thermal paste pre-applied, it seems to work ok too.

You do not need to add any extra thermal paste to the F7P in order to install it. It seems fine noise wise, except when booting I think, as it has a fan controller on it. It might be noisier at specific times but I think it's about as quiet as a stock HSF from intel (Except it drops temperatures about 5-10 degrees ). It depends on what processor you have too.

Near silence means you should look at getting something like the F7P, except make sure you get a fanless version, preferably all copper. IE, a passive heatsink. It'll again depend on your CPU.
