Even If my cpu has a stock cooler with pre applied thermal paste can i use some from a tube?

Can i use thermal paste from a tube that i bought from best buy even if my stock cooler has pre applied some. Its for the AMD Athlon X4 760k CPU.

You can, but you have to remove the pre-applied paste first.

Yes. (I'm assuming you think your tube stuff is better than whatever AMD used?) Clean off the pre-applied stuff first.

Isopropyl Alcohol.

Wolfshadw :

will an alcohol swab work if it is saturated with isopropyl alcohol 70%

As long as that's all it's saturated with, then yes. It should work fine. It just may take a few more seconds to completely dry (not an issue).
