I have a Scythe Mugen2 Cooler and I put just a little bit too much thermal paste and it spilled over the side. My idle temperature is at 29 degrees celsius at stock and my room temperature is usually around 75 degrees fahrenheit (24 C). Should I go through the trouble to reapply it or is this fine? I'm going to overclock it. Also, it is 29 idle at 3.3 ghz and 39 load with P95.

I just tried it again. It's @ 3.3 ghz 47 C CPU and 39 C core. I can't get it to 3.6 ghz even on 1.4750 volts, but any more opinions on my temps? I was expecting more out of the Mugen2 or am I mistaken?
