My venice comes with compound on it allready right. The gray stuf on it dosent seem like it would work too good?

It's not too hard to remove the thermal pad pastes that comes with your CPU, but if you wait, it'll save you the hassle.

If you do decide to not wait, you'll want some Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alchohol) for cleaning when you change the paste.
