Hi, my CPU cooler has pre applied arctic mx 2, will this be fine to just install it straight out the box? Or should I apply a better paste on top of that?

MX-2 is good stuff so leave it on. You never apply one paste on top of another anyway. Always clean the old stuff off first.

It's good but not the best. Won't make much difference buying even better stuff. Depends how much you care.
