It would be well worth getting an after market one. Oh I read somewhere because it was a K processor it did not include a CPU heatsink like the LGA2011 processors. But getting an aftermarket cooler would be a very good idea anyway. Yeah I was sure I read that somewhere as well but apparently it's just Socket 2011. -------------------- 08/11/2012 the day the music died.

Should I use Artctic Silver thermal paste or the one that comes with the CM hsf?

Also, I usually just put a drop of thermal compound on the cpu and let the heatsink spread it as it's bolted on which is what it says in the manual. I've just been reading about people using cards and stuff to spread it out evenly first. Other people are saying spreading it first causes air bubbles. What is the best method to use?

The thermal paste that comes with the CM cooler should do the job just fine but if you really want other thermal paste then you can't go wrong with Noctua NT-H1.
Also don't bother spreading the thermal paste with a credit card or something it's only really needed for pysically larger processors like 2011. But for small LGA1155 CPU's it's really just not worth it. A small pea sized drop in the middle will just be fine. -------------------- My baby: i5 2500K, ASUS P8Z68-V Pro Gen3, ASUS GTX 560 with 120MHz coreclock overclock, 8GB DDR3 G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 RAM, Corsair AX650, Corsair H60 and Antec P280.

yeh, I used to always spread thermal paste, then, I finally relented and gave the 'grain of rice' method a try
works a treat! I've been using that Arctic Silver Ceramique of late - I'm happy with the temps I used to always use AS5, but the Ceramique is pretty well as good, plus it's totally non-conductive haven't tried the Noctua stuff. -------------------- Quote by lunchbox1988

If you're super keen arctic silver have instructions on their website and it talks about why you can do the credit card thing and how much to apply and all of that. It actually tells you to apply the compound in a short line rather than a blob in the middle of the CPU.

Cheers for the link. I'd never heard of tinting the heat-sink before.
