Hi there! I'm building a new PC this days and I just realized that my NZXT Kraken X72 Cooler already has a Thermalpaste Circle on it and I was wondering should I clean it and use my Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Paste or this one is good enough and I should just use the one that comes with my Liquid Cooler? My processor it's i9-9900K

Thanks for the answers!

are you ocing it as high as you can?

since the difference will be 1-2 degrees 

i'm pretty sure the noctua thermal paste is slightly better but it really depends if you want to go through the trouble of wiping of the thermal paste and reapplying it

The difference is minimal, and for the amount of time spent removing the pre-applied thermal paste, it is not worth it imo

So you guys recommend me to stay with the same Thermal paste and not apply new one?
