Installation of CPU

Hi Folks

For signature rig CPU came in a 4x4 box with the fan. I found no tube of thermo compound, However, bottom of fan or contact to CPU of fan has three grey epoxy tar looking stripes. Is this thermo compound or do I need to add thermo compound?

The material on the bottom of the heat sink is the thermal compound. Just put it together like it is.
