Installing my cpu

[nickolasguerrier]

I am going to purchase the I7 7700 K do I need to purchase and install thermal paste or not?

The heatshink should come with some factory pre-applied thermal paste on it, if you want you could buy a diffrent thermal paste, clean the one that is on the heatsink and apply the one that you got. Here is a video on how to do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hNgFNH7zhQ
