[velox909]

I am upgrading from an I5-4460 to a I7-4790k, I am just wondering will I need more thermal paste on the cpu for when I out the fan back on?

When upgrading to new CPU you need to clean the cooler and get rid of the paste and put new paste onto your new CPU. Answer Is Yes New Paste Needed!

When changing out cpus, you should always clean the thermal paste off the cooler and reapply. There won't be enough thermal paste left on the cooler to suffice because it will also be left on your cpu as well. It would be best for you to clean it off and add fresh thermal paste for your cpu.
