do processors come with thermal paste?

[RoninNYC17]

hey all i just ordered a new comp off of new egg and realized i will probably need some thermal paste. i bought an amd 3000+ venice. does anyone know if this comes with thermal paste preapplied to the heatsink or some in a tube or something? or will i have to go out and get some arctic silver tomorrow or something?
thanks

If it comes with a heatsink, then it comes with either thermal paste or a thermal pad.

if the motherboard is already attached, wouldnt the factory have had put thermal paste on already? or a pad?

What are you asking? If the mobo was attached? What does the mobo have to do with thermal paste....
