Are the fans included? I got My cooler delivered and there aren't any fans. All the reveiwers had fans, youtube unboxing video had fans and the ad said this;
"Fan (option): 120x120x25mm * 2 ( 8pcs Anti-vibration rubber attached)"
Sold as an air cooler rather than passive, I didnt think the fans would be a seperate purchase.

Ok thanks, I did some checking and one of the reveiwers was obviously useing Noctura fans.
I also saw at another shop;
Package Contents:
1 x Heat-Sink & Fan

and Newegg ad saying "...120mm Long Life Bearing... " doesnt sound passive.

I think I can use it passively? With an Athlon2 630 at stock speed? and order some fans (ouch).
Would you use the supplied thermal paste or some Arctic mx-2?
 
I saw that at Newegg too, didn't make sense to reference long Life Bearing and have no fan, pictured with the product?

If the supplied thermal paste is light gray, it probably is already the equivalent of MX-2.
