Decent coolers like that come with decent thermal paste included also.
So you shouldn't have a need to purchase more simply for a single re-application.
Be sure to clean off the CPU surface with Isopropyl Alcohol before installing new paste & cooler.
If that PC is dusty, this will be a good time to give it a good cleaning and blow out all the dust.
When removing the old cooler, be careful and while doing so, apply a bit of twisting motion before pulling it off the CPU; to help ensure the CPU does not get yanked out of the socket.

thanks. i am going to do a bit of cleaning to my pc when my new gpu arrives. buying the cpu cooler will happen in the near future sometime.

btw i went with the CRYORIG - H7 since its cheaper in australia.

Yes its good cooler. H7 should be more than beefy enough for your CPU, as it's good enough even for FX-8/FX-9 series of CPUs as well, which put out alot more heat in comparison to any Phenom II series CPU.

Here it is unpacked:

Best to remove your RAM before the actual cooler install.
Once cooler is installed, then clamp on the fan and connect to CPU fan header.
Then reinstall the RAM.

may i ask? why do i need to remove the ram. sorry if its a stupid question. i dont know any of this :P

if it helps here is my pc: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/468657079901487127/497739561330278411/IMG_20181005_191515.jpg x

it should fit right?

Yes not a problem, just remove RAM from slot#1 during the whole install, it makes getting the Fan clipped on and such much easier. The cooler won't get in the way of RAM once fully installed, then simply re-insert the RAM fully until it clips down all the way.

Good amount of dust, time to break out the blower

thanks! yes i do need to clean the dust. that maybe why my computer has been so, sooo loud.
and the amount of dust could also be because i have no io shield. it got lossed.

Well to be honest, those stock coolers that always shipped with AM2/AM3 CPUs never were any good. They are loud cause they are worked to the bone due to being so small. A nice tower cooler will have you running much cooler (probably 45-50*C max; unlike the stock cooler) and also run much quieter since it is a 120mm fan that doesn't need high RPMs to cool better then a smaller fan.

it should be a nice upgrade. might even overclock the cpu a bit when i order the Cryorig H7.
