How many ghz without being overclocked?

It's not a 4790K, so not overclockable.

Is thermal compound included?

It is. It comes with a CPU cooler (heatsink+fan) which has a square of thermal compound pre-applied. I used a third party CPU Cooler though (Hyper 212 Evo) with Arctic Silver 5, though.

Why is an intel processor incompatible with intel motherboards?

They are getting out of the market for motherboards. See attached. http://gizmodo.com/5978232/intel-to-stop-making-desktop-motherboards
