   Assuming you mean thermal paste, yes, you will need some material to help transfer heat from the CPU to the heatsink.
   
   Most, if not all, heatsinks will come with either a thermal pad or some thermal paste already applied. If you don't plan on overclocking, this should be more than adequate.
