Hi my name is Matt and I need help. I am looking to replace my stock intel cpu cooler with a cooler master hyper tx3 evo but I don't know if I should remove the exciting thermal paste as the new cooler comes with some, if so could anyone tell me how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated

No need to buy new thermal paste get new cooler.And you need to replace thermal paste when changing cpu coolers.Get some isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth(toilet paper will also do make sure no poop on it lol)and put it on the cloth and wipe the top of the cpu.Do this 3 times and your done.To apply new paster while installing heatsink there are multiple ways.you can watch a video on youtube because i cant explain it well on forums.
