As per title, I have the 7800X3D arriving today & will be cooled using the NZXT Z63 RGB(well I’ll be replacing the fans with Lian Li SL Infinity). I’ve ordered one of those Thermalright contact plates which comes with a tube of thermal paste, also have an unopened tube(at least I believe so as don’t remember unscrewing the top or using it) which has been in the garage for the past couple of/few years.
Shouldn’t I just use the preapplied paste on the AIO or replace it with one of the other two mentioned and if so which?

I'd just close your eyes and take your pick. Don't think you'll see any real world difference on that setup. I'm away to do a build with 7800x3d and Artic Freezer, I'll just use the paste supplied rather than TG, no contact plate.
