Thermal Paste on I5-3570L

[burns94]

Hi,

I am buying an I5-3570K and would like to know if i need to apply Thermal paste to the CPU?

The heat sink that comes with the CPU already has some thermal paste on it, so would this be enough or should i replace it ?

Thanks

The thermal paste on the heatsink that came with you CPU is fine. too much, and you might trap the heat inside your cpu and overheat it.
