Thought the shim was only needed when using coolers made for 69XX since the die on the 7 series is on a offset so the corners would be hanging over the coolers base.

When I bought my 3570K the stockfan had pre-applied thermal paste, which is still untouched since I never used the stockcooler. Can I take that paste for my shim or is it bad quality?
