If you got a new Heatsink, it should come with it. It is NOT recommended to run it without.

Unless you like your processor toasty and dead, then do it. Other than that, wait.

It's called thermal paste or thermal grease, it's there to help fill any small gaps between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat transfer, and you should NOT turn the computer on without some of it between the two.
The CPU will likely idle a good ten degrees Celsius hotter without any thermal interface material, and is likely to crash (or burn out) pretty fast once it's actually used for something.

thank you for the feedback. i guess ill wait
the cooler i bought came with it
artic 64
next problem...
im putting on the cooler and the second clip wont go far enough down to notch on...
i have been working on it for 1.5 hours
and i am sure that its compatible(i have checked MANY times)
but it just wont go down!!!
i know it CAN fit on....but if the other side is notched down i cant get the second one on. no matter what i do.

not sure on the heat sink cooler problem...bu tyou should be able to run down to a radio shck or some such and get the gell for the cpu fairly cheap and will be faster.

are you meaning ARCTIC *FREEZER 64 PRO* to be exact
if it is an intel proc unless they changed it recently you have to replace the backing plate to fit it which means remove MB as well
i am using 2 of them and on the AMD it snaps on fast and easy.
30 seconds to install on fresh proc

Just don't try to force it on, take your time, and it will go on just fine.

i ended up just using the stock fan...i just could take anymore.
so i got it all up...then...the video card was faulty, its in the process of an rma
but
2 weeks before my computer will be up
unless someone has a different way to solve the fact that my computer makes a high pitched screeching noise, when removed the noise goes away...
