yeah but its never very good, and its only good for one use... if he doesn't place the heat sink on right the first time the computer will shut down as soon as he starts it, and then he'd have to clean teh old paste off, and reapply thermal paste/grease on the cpu and reseat the heat sink. a tube of thermal compound is very cheap anyway.
