I put the stock cooler on the cpu which contains a pastey sticky substance but Im recieving a new cooler in the mail tommorow, one which contains grease. Is it ok to mix these two on the cpu or should I just stick to the existing paste that is on it currently?

Clean the CPU with rubbing alcohol first, then apply the new paste.
DON"T mix them.
