yes you can use it but if you want to have better temp then you can use after market compound, and here is my two fravorite, AS5 and Artic Cooling MX-2.

This thread seems appropriate for this question, whats the standard thermal paste is used on the Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 64.

it's all depend on how flat is cooler base, for example my GTZ water block is so perfectly flat. I only used 1/16" thick of a thin line method. If not, normally I use 1/2 dime size method, drop it right at center of CPU and let it spread out. I hardly use credit card spreading method.
Just so long as it doesn't turn out like this you should be fine.
