First time builder. I put my cpu cooler down on a piece of paper, not realising it was pre thermal pasted. Realised my mistake and put it away again. Do I need to clean off what's left and reapply thermal paste before using?
You'd better clean it off now, otherwise you'll always think that CPU temperatures would have been lower if paste reapplied and you'll eventually do it anyway.
