So I'm upgrading to water cooling in my system, and the cooler I'm getting (Corsair h60) comes with paste pre applied, as normal, but I have my own thermal paste that works amazing. Do I clean off the pre applied paste and use mine or just apply my paste to a clean cpu and then just install it with the paste still on on top of mine?
