Solution Ubrales Apr 15, 2014 Yes, it is better to clean off the old thermal compound and apply new. Use Arctic Silver 5. - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4DA1GN6641 The CPU needs to be carefully dropped into the socket and secured before the heatsink is installed (with Arctic Silver 5).
