Phenom build thernal compound

[JSD13]

I am putting together a new system with a Phenom II AM3 720. The stock heatsink came with some thermal compound on it, but I also have some OCZ stuff. Should I just use what came with it, or add some OCZ? Or clean it an use OCZ? I plan on OCing MAYBE a tiny bit.

assuming it's OCZ freeze, wipe the stock compound off and use OCZ freeze, it should take 10C off of the temps with stock compound.

Yes it's the freeze. How do I go about cleaning the old stuff off.

No, wipe grey stuff off and leave OCZ off. turn on computer with computer case off. If it overheats, put some liquid nitrogen into it.
