Should you "burn in" again after re-seating the heatsink?

I cleaned everything, and re-applied AS3 and re-seated the heatsink. Should the CPU be put through the paces again to settle in the AS3?
The only thing I did differrent was that I rubbed the AS3 into the heatsink center, and wiped it clean with a lint free rag.

Thanks

You won't need to do a burn-in again. AS3 will settle with 72 hours of use.

Thanks Soy..........temps are about the same 40 idle, 43 load 3DMark, but maybe they will come down a little when it settles.

They should go down at least a couple C.
