Hello everyone!
I am going to be getting a Scythe Katana 2 and I was reading that it comes with thermal compound pre-applied. I was wondering if I should just use that stuff that is already on it or should I clean it up and use a well know name in thermal compound (Artic Silver 5)? I have never applied thermal compound to a heatsink/cpu so maybe it would be better to just use what the heatsink comes with, although if I can get better cooling just by buying a $10 tube of artic silver 5 then I would rather do that.
