Kraken AIO - Use pre-applied paste or use Noctua NT-H1

[Oblivion007]

As per title - I've just ordered a Kraken x72 360mm radiator AIO to cool my new 3800x/3900x (haven't decided yet!). My question is should I stick with the pre-applied paste that comes with the Kraken or scrape this off an use the Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste I already own?

Why not mount it with the stock paste and see if you like the temperatures? One less step to do. Then if you're unhappy with temps you can try a repaste.

That would be the logical way to do it I guess.
