I just completed a new build but my GPU and MOBO are not talking properly, so I ordered a different mobo which will be here tomorrow. I'm using a stock cooler for the cpu (i5), and need to remove it from teh old mobo and put it in the new one. Do I need to repaste the cpu when I do that? It's only been installed about 3 days at this point. Sorry for the novice question, I didn't see a straight answer about it and just want to be sure. Thanks.
Really noob question about cpu repaste

Everytime you remove and reinstall the heatsink you should clean and reapply thermal grease.
