Pads are fine for most purposes. Where you start gettings arguments is with the hard core overclockers.
The Cooler Master is an ok brand, don't think I'd use it on a hi-end gamer.

I wouldn't use a Cooler Master PSU if you're using those parts in your build.

I don't OC so all my builds for years now have been with the PIB (retail) version of the CPU w/ heatsink/fan combo. The pad is designed to work for years, as the PIBs come with a 3 year warranty. No company is going to risk their own product and warranty using a "evil" pad. I use to use OEM CPUs and grease until I realized I was giving up 2 years and 11 months of free warranty for me and my small clientèle.
