LOL, what he said, including the eye rolls.
The TIM that comes with the stock heatsink does an OK job conducting heat. However if you plan on overclocking, it would be a good idea to buy some quality thermal paste like Arctic Silver Ceramique or they have a new product coming out next week called Arctic Silver 5. Preliminary results from beta testers indicates that it does perform 1-2C better @ load temps than AS Ceramique.
I don't have my retail kit handy, but I could have sworn the stock Intel HS comes with some Shin Etsu paste in addition to the pad. Might want to look around.
