Pre-applied thermal grease on Corsair H115i

heyy guys,

would like to consult yall bout the pre-applied thermal grease on the liquid cooling Corsair's H115i,

should I keep the pre-applied thermal grease or swap it out?

I came across this thermal grease 'Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut', its lookin extremely popular in the market.

My variety of video games are mainly Dota 2 & PUBG, and 3rd person adventure games like MGSV & ROTTR.

I would like to have the best cooling performance and the quality of the thermal grease (longetivity).

Will be grateful for your suggestions THANKS !

I tried using pig the stock thermal paste in my h60, but it was so hardened that it almost didn’t stick to the CPU (a 4790k), so I replaced it with good ol’ Arctic Silver 5.
