If i buy the E6600 OEM Chip i know it dosent come with the fan but how about the thermal paste?

Im going to get the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 and read a review their and it saids that the paste is pants is that true, if it is could you possibly give me a link to some good Thermal Paste thanks.

OEM means the CPU alone, NOTHING else. No paste, no t-shirt, no sweets, no pr0n

Buy Arctic Silver 5 paste. Best there is. Although why OCUK charge 7 quid for it is beyond me. Half that price nearly everywhere else I've seen it. Unless their one comes with something else.

You won't get paste with the OEM chip, all you get is the chip. And it depends entirely what you intend doing with cooler, if you're not overclocking then just use what you get, if you are overclocking look at either:-

AS5 is ever so slightly better than the Ceramique.
