Probably.

I wouldn't recommend "Artic", but I would recommend Arctic Silver.

Is there a particular reason why you wish to do this?

If your stock HSf was installed correctly and you have good airflow
ventilation around and inside your PC case and your ambient room temp
is not too warm then I see no reason to just leave things and
overclock with your stock HSF as is.

If you have a CPU with a 3 year warranty, not using the fan/heatsink and the
'phase change material' that came with the chip will void the warranty. If
you don't care about the warranty you can do whatever you want.

If I didn't care about the warranty I would probably get one of the copper
heatsinks from ThermalRight (SLK ?00) and a good 80 or 92mm variable speed
fan. For the thermal material I would either use Ceramique by Arctic Silver
or one of AMD's phase change material pads.

Make sure the mobo will take the heatsink you want to use. Some put the
capacitors too close to the CPU.
