Hello,
I'm completely new to pc building. I had put thermal paste(small ball shaped) then put my heatsink on it and attached 2 screws to it. After that I realized the heatsink was in The wrong direction so I removed it. It was kinda stuck, but it came of easily. The paste was still wet so I just re-adjusted to the proper direction and fixed it. My question is do I need to remove wipe out the thermal paste and re-apply it? Or what I did is alright?
Thanks for reading this and replying.
