I wouldn't think it would make much difference, if any, because it looks like quite a cheep paste, so is probably almost the same as the paste that came with the cooler.

Heat paste is supposed to be renewd every few months. even tho people dont do it. Maybe heat transfer pads would be a better option? never used them so u may want to try and look some up :)
