X61 Kraken thermal paste

[Redjo]

Hello i got all of my parts and this days will build my PC here is quick question: 

Do i need to apply additional Thermal paste to CPU, because i think the cooler itself has integrated paste.

It will have pre-applied thermal paste so you won't have to do any additional steps while installing.

If you wanna do custom paste you can but laws of diminishing returns apply here

But how much better is that thermal paste?

I tested with preapplied and with some custom one that I bought in local store.

Kinda same resaults.

I dunno but i am not going to apply bonus paste even doe i got some more from cooler master..... 

The pre applied paste on X61 is enough i guess.
