Thermal pad?

What are you talking about? 

He might be thinking of the kind of thermal paste that gets applied to say the H100i or Intel stock cooler. It looks like a pad.

Like I said, it should just come off if you want to remove it. However, it should be more than enough to keep the CPU cool as long as the cooler itself is sufficient. If you want to remove it, I would advise using isopropyl alcohol.
