Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. Thermal paste is pre-applied, though I don't know what brand it is. It should work perfectly fine, but if you smudge it or feel like using your own, it comes off with rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs just like other nonmetallic pastes. I ended up having to redo mine because I accidentally installed it upside down the first time so I ended up using some more Noctua NT-H1, and on a 5900X, hottest temp I've ever seen was 75 in a closed room.
