So I ordered a BE QUIET! Pure Rock Slim and also ordered some ARCTIC ORACO-MX40001-BL MX-4 Thermal Compound, now the cooler has arrived I realise it already has thermal compound pre applied.

 

Should I clean it off and use the Arctic MX-4 or just use the pre applied compound?

Yes, you should. The factory pre-applied one isn't terrible but, the one you got is better.
