    Hello and welcome to Techspot.

    If your heatsink/cpu has a thermal pad, then you don`t really need to use thermal paste.

    However, my own personal preference would be to remove this and use some Arctic silver thermal paste instead. Just remember only to use a very thin layer.

    See HERE for application instructions.

    Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

    No, removing the thermal pad will not void the warranty.

    See HERE for AMD`s warranty conditions.

    Regards Howard :)
