- robzyb 13y agoNo, it's been like that for years. Years and years. Thats how my AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.4GHz came in 2001. I suspect that your unlocked CPU didn't come with pre-applied thermal paste because it's aimed at enthusiasts who can get their CPUs a few degrees cooler by using proper thermal paste. (The gunk that comes standards can cost you a few degrees of CPU temp)
- fat0wl 13y agoah true I was thinking maybe it was an unlocked thing as well. sometimes i don't realize what a true baller i am, paste-wise
