How do you remove a heatsink on an Apple MacBook Pro?
Try this DIY on removing a CPU/GPU heatsink...
Is the heatsink and fan required to cool down the CPU or can i build a computer without any heatsink or fan for the CPU?
A heatsink and fan is required. Without at least a heatsink, the processor would get way too hot in a very short period of time. This overheating of the processor could permanently damage it and render it useless.
What is the difference between a heatsink and water cooling?
Heatsink uses what they call passive cooling where as liquid cooling systems use active cooling.
Does a new CPU come with thermal paste?
Usually no, unless the box also comes with a heatsink. The paste will be on the bottom of the heatsink, not on the top of the processor.
Can a AMD2 939 socket fan and heatsink work for a Intel 775 socket processor?

Why do you need a Thermal compound for a heatsink?
Thermal compound rests between the CPU (heatspreader) and the heatsink, and is used to improve heat conductivity in areas where the two metal surfaces aren't completely flush.
What the heatsink does?
It draws heat away fom the object that is is being used on.
