Reapplying thermal paste; Should i also remove the thermal paste from the Intel stock cooler?

[Saleh_5]

Or just from the CPU?

If installing stock cooler back on CPU then yes, you should clean both CPU and cooler.

 

[Makentox]

You should remove from both. Make sure there is no old tim leftover before u apply a new one.
