Will my new Core i7 920 come with thermal paste? Or will I need some?

If it's like the core 2 CPUs, and it probably is, it will come with TIM on the bottom of the included HS that will melt when you boot up.

Are you planning to OC? if so pick up some Artic Silver 5 and a better HSF, the stuff that comes with it is not that great...
