[alien_hunter812006]

i wanted to know if there are heatsink's that all ready have thermal grease on them all ready cause i dont wanna have to put it on myself if there are any can you tell me where to find them

as far as I know, all retail intel cpu's come with the material already on them.
not sure about amd.
all after market heatsinks I have seen do not come with anything already installed.

but as for your problem, is is really a simple matter of placeing a pes size amount of artic silver on the cpu and spread it around a bit and then place the heat sink on top of it and clamp it down your done.
look for more reply's on your question as I am not too bright on some of this stuff. on your question

Almost ALL heatsinks come with either a thermal pad or preapplied compound - or compound in a little packet in the box. Intel and AMD retail boxed processors come with the required patch or compound preapplied to the heatsink.
