Hi
I recently bought a market cpu heatsink & cooler to replace an intel stock cooler. I cleaned off the pre-applied paste off the CPU attempted to attach the new cooler but it wouldn't fit.
So I decided to replace the Intel stock-cooler but realised I would need to re-apply some thermal paste. My question is - is it suitable to apply after-market thermal paste such as the one in the title to use with the intel stock-cooler which came with pre-applied thermal paste?
For the record the CPU I have is the 2600k and the cooler looks like this:
