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?

You will not need to do anything, install cpu in the socket then stick the cooler on top and secure.
I would use the standard / default paste as your using the stock cooler.
The square is the paste on the cpu cooler it's self.
It should have been stuck to the center of the base of the heatsink, it is paste.
The paste will be on the bottom.
Ah I thought soso I've done it right then, should there be a sticker over it or is the paste exposed?
I think it's exposed, the Intel coolers don't need any plastic cover to be removed.
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
