Hi friends, I have a new Intel i5 4670 non k processor, it is not installed yet, the thing is that a relative of mine touch it by error some of the thermal cream of the stock cooler that comes with the processor, my question is if I need t replace the entire thermal cream for a new one before install the processor, or it will be ok with the touched thermal cream, I send a picture of the cooler with this, thank you!

Excellent news, thank you for the solution in both answers, I imagine something like that but want to be sure about it, i want a perfect cooling for the processor, right now don't have an aftermarket thermal paste like artic silver 5 or some other, so it will be with the touched stock paste instead, but its good to know that some of those knowed brands can be better than the stock one, and that I can use the stock one with no worries about it.

Thanks again!
