Plenty. Zalman, Arctic Cooling, and Thermaltake all make good heatsinks. Why do they have to have the thermal paste pre-applied? Some Arctic Silver or Arctic Silver Ceramique is much better than the gunk they pre-apply.

i agree with thermopylae, arctic silver is much better quality than the crap they slap on in the first place

The Freezer 7 Pro has MX-1 pre-applied, and it's as good as AS5.
