Ok I am totally new to this and searched around a bit and could not find an answer to this simple question. I am buying a AMD Athlon XP 2100+ Retail version for my new computer. The major question I have is, in the retail version, which includes heatsink and fan, does the heatshink have any sort of pre applied thermal paste on it or do I need to buy some myself? I also was wondering is it impossible to change to a different heatsink fan combo later if I start to explore overclocking?
While for now I will not mess with overclocking and could actually build a new computer down the road for just that, is it impossible to change the heatsink and fan later on or not? If it the retail does not come with any pre applied thermal paste what is a good brand to use? Thanks for any responses
