New build. Thermaltake Water 3.0 Riing 360 RGB AIO. Ordered Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Compound for the install, but now see that there is already factory applied paste. Should I replace it with the NT-H1 or use factory? Nothing in the AIO install instructions covers thermal paste. Thanks
 
Update: I used Arctic Silver Arcticlean Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier to remove the factory applied thermal pad (coffee filters for the lint-free rag). Applied a pea sized amount of NT-H1. Idle temp shows in UEFI as 29C, so it looks normal so far.
