Question Should i replace the thermal paste in this situation?

[FullMetalAlchemist87]

Hi,

I almost finished to built my new PC more than a month ago, but i had to attend until today (finally!!!) the arrival of a fan splitter to be able to connect the 3 radiator fans to the mobo.

Now it is ready but, i am wondering, should i replace the thermal paste on the CPU (i9-9900k) before i turn the PC on (first time) considering the time passed? sorry if it is a stupid question.

What thermal paste did you use/have all this while? You won't need to change the TIM if it's from a reputed brand and you did not unmount the CPU block/cooler.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I used the cooler master mastergel maker and i didn't unmount the cooler/CPU.

so it should be all ok?
