The stock heatsink comes with thermal paste already applied.

The stock HSF has thermal paste already applied. You'll be fine. <beaten>

Although I would order a Tuniq Tower and install that, you get cooler temps and be able to overclock more.

Just checking, but did the heatsink come with the CPU?

Did the 2 come together in the box?

Then you should be able to see the paste. On the one we bought recently it was in three grey strips on the base of the HSF.
