I have just been using the stock cooler for the cpu but have just bought 2 more rosewill fans and was looking at aftermarket cpus to lower the temps as it was getting to 70c easily at load. I wanted this fan http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI/?tag=logicaincrem-20 the cooler master hyper 212 evo. My question is do I need to buy more thermal paste that is "better" as the cpu fan comes with paste of its own. Also should I wipe off the old thermal paste from the stock cooler?
PS- I plan to OC the gpu and the cpu
Thanks in advance
