Sometimes there is thermal paste on the stock fan they provide such as with my i7, but most leave it off in case you want to add a non stock cooler.
Congrats on your successful new build!

Grats Hejurm. During playing games u should run also CoreTemp to see how high the temps of the CPU will go.
I also moved my new comp from its original case to the case of my old computer. I was fed up with the original one. Needed one hour.
