i3-4130

[Wingfan]

A newbie question, but does this come with thermal? and will the stock heatsink/fan be adequate?

 

Thanks

Yes.

Thermal paste is on the stock heatsink and fan that is included with the i3.

[Wingfan]

its the pre-applied? should I remove that and put my own?

The stock cooler on intel is perfectly fine if your not overclocking (your not cause u dont have the "k" version) however with some amd cpus (like mine) you can Oc just fine with them and still have great temps.

I will be putting it on this board.

Also I have a Zalman 9900 CPU cooler, but haven't been able to find the brackets. It worked pretty good with my 8120 and 3570K.

Yea it's fine, just put cpu in, put cooler on cpu and you're golden.

 

don't forget to plug it in

Spare parts ill be using are:

 

2 x 2 Pareema RAM (1333 I think)
120GB Vertex 3 SSD

GTX 560 1GB

I have a few cases I can throw it in.

 

I will slowly start swapping parts out as I get the money.

You don't have to remove it, it will work fine.

[L.E.D]

There is pre applied thermal material on the stock cpu block, if you are buying an aftermarket cooler then most of the time you will need to buy some thermal compound.
