Hi guys, I've been following this website and Forum for a while as a guide on helping me build my gaming pc. This will be my second build, first build was 6-7 years ago. Before I purchased my cpu, I was reading a lot about temp issues and how to fix it, so I was very prepared. My idle temps are around 26-32c. In Aida64 with Fpu/Cpu/Cache checked, i get an average of 59c on temps, with high being 67c. During Heavy gaming, BF4/Watchdogs/Middle Earth/Metro/ etc. Average temp is 48c. Rendering a High res video got me to around 61c. Thing is I have builders anxiety, and during installation of the Noctua cooler, I had to reseat it about 3 times, (Trying to tighten down the two screws on the side) Lol. I didn't clean the thermal grease and try again. I used a pea sized amound of the NT-H1 grease. ( I'm worried about bubbles that might have formed) I feel as if the temps are good right now, but do I have anything to worry about in the future? Will my poor installation cause something to happen to the grease causing higher temps later on. I'm happy everything went great with this new build, no defective parts, everything seems to be working and running great. Firestrike score of 12,343. Thanks.
My parts are :

I7 4790k Vcore at 1.13 @ 4.0 ghz (4.4 with boost)
Noctua NH-D14
GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK
