[SOLVED] Is my stock cooler pre-applied thermal paste working??

[RajTheGeek]

Hi I have recently built my first gaming rig. My cpu is Ryzen 3 3100. While assembling I have attached and removed the stock cooler many times because I couldn't get all 4 screws to fit properly. After that eventually it was done by closing the screws in cross pattern. But during that I removed and placed the wraith stealth cooler at least 3-4 times. I didn't create any mess so the paste wan't spread anywhere except above the cpu. Now Currently My idle cpu temp is 50C and on gaming it's ~70C. Sometimes it touches 75C. I checked this processor reviews that its idle temp is very low. But at the same time it never goes above 75C. at least for now. How can I know that the pre-applied paste is doing its job? should I be worried about this?

Thanks.

every time when u remove pc cooler u must use new termal paste and clean old with 99% alcohol

Yes but I removed it while I was assembling coz having trouble with the screws. The cpu wasn't used before so the paste wasn't in use as well. Do you think its a problem?

no the screws are tight now. can't tight them more. so seems its mounted properly. but due to the fact that I removed the cooler while building, could it be the reason I'm having temp issues?
