Sounds like a thermal pad you can use them instead of thermal compund but they are usually just like thermal compound and one use only deals,if it is a pad what you want to do is just take it off and use your normal thermal compund or you could always get some new pads if you want.

Yeah if its white or greyish its going to be a thermal pad. Its the same thing as paste but its already pre applied and makes it alot easier for certain people. If you dont want to use the thermal pad, get a tissue or toilet paper and wipe it off. Then apply some good thermal paste to the cpu instead...

Thanks for that jrm20, would it do any harm to use paste with the thermal pad or doesn't it matter?

No, dont use both. Use either just the thermal pad or just the thermal paste. Dont use both together because then it will be too much thermal compound if you mix the both of them.
