Yes clean it off & reapply it. Only use a drop the size of a grain off rice is ample & best method I do it with my builds & they hold 50 deg or less under load with a i5 2400 tapped out.

yeah its good paste. Look around online for reviews of pastes I recomend you can get generic pastes make by after market companies that do the same job or better that the high end companies offer. Do you research. I use generic CPU paste not official paste without issues suprised my self thermal temps are lower than any of the high end stuff. I am using a Chinese generic gold paste & my CPU tempos sit from idling with all builds i3s- i5s from 20's to 60ish under full load. But I did my research & checked the figures before I bought my paste. As alot of pastes are make by 1 of 2 companies with the High end brands slaping there name on to sell the paste for higher prices which do the same job. Shop around there alot of alternative pastes around which do the same results.

You can likely do better job applying paste than assembly line machine. Use better quality paste too.
