Thermal grease

[topgun505]

I'm about to begin a new build. The cooler I am using is a Xigmatek S1283. The cooler itself doesn't have any thermal 'tape' pre-applied which was commonly used in ages past, but does come with its own 'high performance grease' But, I also have a fresh tube of OCZ Freeze. Would I be better off with the OCZ or use the stuff that came with the cooler?

Probably the OCZ Freeze. What was the brand of the grease that came with the cooler?

Hard to imagine the Xig TIM would be anything better than the OCZ Freeze.
