Well you could save yourself the time by not getting the paste until you get a new cooler, I am running on the thermal compound thats on my intel boxed cooler, nothing wrong with it. Once you get a new cooler you should get some paste (from arctic or something). I have some coolermaster, didn't use it yet cause I have no need to, i'll wait till i take a new cooler. I had to use it for the 360 though, some really old cooler paste
