I'm going to get a zalman 9500 and was wondering if aftermarket heatsinks come with thermal paste applied or would I have to apply it myself?

Would you say it's worth it for a E6750?
 
you have to apply it yourself. its not that hard, i dont use the best technique and it still functions much better than the retail heatsink. i just put line on there and smush it around with a business card to make sure theres a thin coat on the surface.

I have the zalman 9500 AT on a E6850. I really like it. The "AT" model uses the 4 pin (pwm?) motherboard speed control to ramp the speed up/down as needed.

The only pain about the install was taking everything out to mount the backplate on the motherboard. Other than that it was pretty easy. My cpu is sitting at 37c idle now. I think with retail it was around 50c idle.

You need to check for obstructions, since its a somewhat larger cooler than the retail one.
