is Pre-Applied Thermal Compound any good or should you swap it out. The X62 Kraken from NZXT is a great cooler, it looks good has RBG and does a great job. also it come with pre applied thermal compound but is that compound worth anything or should you wipe it off from day one and replace it with something better. well I have been using the X62 for a while without any issue but I wanted to see if I could squeeze any more performance out of my CPU by switching to the best thermal compound on the market. SPOILER I did I was able to finally get a stable 5GHz OC finally. this video will also show you how to apply liquid metal correctly based on the instructions provided with the thermal grizzly, a step i see a lot skip or miss.
