Does this come with pre applied thermal pad? When I bought this it looked to have an clear square pad attached which I beloved to be thermal paste, also on the box it states that it comes with thermal paste but my friend reckons but I should order my own paste I'm confused and will days use do damage as nothing is showing on afterburner records?

Belived* to be thermal paste

When you say pre applied does this mean I should do anything and do you recommend I buy some paste & add it?

There was definitely a square somewhere but there wasn't any paste provided?

Yes I am using the provided heat sink

Ah I thought so

so I've done it right then, should there be a sticker over it or is the paste exposed?

Ah good stuff I was scared then! I've had the computer running a day then he tells me that. On the instructions it says use 1 of there approved paste but then on side of box it says it's provided but the only thing I could see was the square on cooler or CPU can't rember which, as I say I have not seen any reason to supect anything wrong but wanted to make sure
