No, you don't need a separate heat sink compound. The boxed heatsink 
comes with a thermal wax already stuck to the heatsink, which you can 
use once, i.e. the very first time you install the processor. If for any 
reason you need to remove the heat sink from the processor, then you 
will need to apply new after-market heat sink compound.
