Would never recommend reusing thermal paste. Ofc if we are talking like (i mounted it 1 min ago then realised it was wrong), then it shouldn't be a problem. It was around 5 minutes between removing it, installing the correct stand offs and pushing it onto the CPU again. The first time I couldn't secure it because of the stand offs, so the machine hasn't been on yet.
Like is said, if it was detected a short time after installing it, then its no prob. The "1 min" was just a figure of speech.

Socket or core temp?
Stock or overclocket?
Stock at the time, but I've got an "OC" at 4.0Ghz now. The CPU is around 35C idle, sometimes a little over 50 with the OC. Within acceptable ranges for myself. I'm not sure how big of a difference between the H100i temperature and the CPU temperature there should be but I'm assuming the gap of a few Celsius is to do with them being different sensors etc.
