So I just put thermal paste on my CPU yesterday and attached my Noctua NH-U14S. Today I received my replacement Noctua heatsink (original has some bent fins on the top). Do I need to clean off all of the thermal paste from the CPU and reapply all new, or can I get away with just mounting the new heatsink?
