Do I need to apply thermal paste on my i5 6600k or it comes already with the paste?
If I do, is Arctic MX-4 a good choice?
 


I was thinking about the Cooler Master Hyper 212X, this one comes with the paste too or not?
 


The 212X is decent, these are better:

- Phanteks TC-12DX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709020
- Nocuta NH-U14S: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608041
- Cryorig H5: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UF30R0134

Don't worry about buying Arctic Silver - it's one of the most inexplicably overrated products in the history of PC building.
