Hmmm, I think its debateable.

The stuff that comes with the Freezer is good stuf.

But, I don't think you get optimum cooling with it.

If you are going to replace it, then definitely clean the old stuff off. A cloth works fine.

I suggest you just use what is on it though, and replace it in the future if you think it is necessary. I did a build yesterday and replaced it with Arctic Silver and it runs no slower than the one I did last week with the pre applied stuff.

Just put the Freezer on and see what the temps are like.
