im pretty sure all of them do...

most aftermarkets have bigger fans, and are larger in size, so they need a mount.

thats kind of odd, because most aftermarkets done come with pre-applied thermal paste. but dont coat over it if it is pre applied. But getting spare thermal paste is never a bad idea.

Yeah i know you dont coat over the stuff that is already there... You always clean the old off. I work on Xbox 360s alot and so i have a crap ton of thermal paste laying around. and a crap ton of dead xbox 360 haha.
