Q: Does product come with thermal paste? or have any paste attached to it?
A: Yes. The CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Halo does come with thermal paste (see below photo. It is a small tube, but enough to do the job. I purchased Corsair XTM60 thermal paste because I know that works like a charm. I've no doubt that the included thermal paste would work just fine, but I trust Corsair products. You must apply the paste yourself, but about 1/2 a pea-sized glob in the center should work.

Very quiet and good CPU cooling fan. Keeps my CPU temps at a good level without it being too loud. The installation was pretty easy just follow the instructions because there are different brackets for AM4/AM5/Intel CPUs.

Is RGB CPU cooler? I thought it was going to be a lot worse because how small it was but it actually works very well and efficient. It keeps my ryzen 9 5900x below 70 to 80° c. I highly recommend this CPU Kohler because it's cheaper than a lot of coolers and it's very efficient

Have a Ryzen 5800xt and the stock cooler was enough to keep the cpu cool but when I stressed tested it in cinebench r24, it was consistently hovering around 85-88C and hit 90C a couple times. After switching to this cooler and running the same test, temps were much better and hovering around 75-80C at max load. Fan was much quieter too and RGB looks great. One pig plus of this cooler is that it comes with extra clips if you want to add a second fan to the heatsink, which I did to help airflow.
