Is thermal compound required?

I literally have no idea. I just saw it on Amazon as a suggested product and thought I should ask...

Here's the build I ordered. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tvcBsY

Thanks!

Never mind. Figured it out on my own. The answer is yes.

The cooleermaster 212 evo you bought comes with a packet of thermal compound. It works fine, I've used it.
