I was wondering if anyone knows if Pentium 4 processors (not OEM) come with
thermal compound already in the package?

I am looking to buy P4 2.26ghz, 512 cache.
 
A retail Intel CPU in a box, has the CPU, and a fan and
heatsink with a thermal tape applied, remove the protective
cover.

Thermal tape is easier for a manufacturer to apply and
deliver. The actual compound is applied to a vinyl film
(tape) in a uniform thickness. The tape is cut to a certain
length and applied to the bottom of the heatsink. The vinyl
tape then serves to protect the actual layer of compound.

Thermal compound comes in tubes, and you must apply a small
amount and spread it on a in a very thin layer. You also
should not touch it with your fingers, use a clean tool to
apply and spread the compound.

| Is thermal tape the same thing as thermal compound?

And BTW, you remove the black vinyl tape before you attach
the heatsink.
