I'm with upgrader on this; never heard of a CPU that came with heatsink compound applied from the factory. To my experience it's always on the heatsink if one is supplied with the CPU.

Also, using 2 compounds together sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

The CPU won't have thermal paste already applied. The heatsink and fan that comes with it (if you bought retail version) will have thermal paste applied but you will be using the Hyper TX2 instead of that. What is making you think the CPU will already have thermal paste applied?
