i have an I7-4790 processor that I have transferred from one motherboard to another and am about to transfer to a third board. i am careful not to disturb the thermal grease but should I apply some fresh grease anyway? obviously I don't want the processor to fry or be short lived.

Yes, you should clean it completely, and apply new.
