AMD XP 1800+ Retail

[vancenase]

I'm a newbie about ready to build a computer (and about ready to buy the parts) -- does the retail processor box comes with thermal compound either on the processor or as a tube? (i.e. will i need to buy any?). Sorry if this is the wrong forum ...

The retail heatsink comes with a thermal pad on it. No need for thermal paste if you use the retail heatsink unless you are going to remove the thermal pad.

THREE - COUNT ME IN!!!

Most motherboards come with a tube as well, and if you're going to end up buying a new HSF setup, you'll probably need some more paste, it can be had for about 1.5 for the single application type...good luck
