as long as you didnt remove any of it with your fingers, or wipe it on anything (the heatsink base and cpu die) then you should be ok to just leave it. Ive done it before when i lost my tube of AS3, just dont touch it.

According to manufacturers, it's always a good idea to clean off the old and reapply.

As a general rule, you should always re-apply Thermal compound after removing the heatsink.

I would be safe and reapply. You may not need to, but you never know.

If it's not overclocking where it did right before you removed your heatsink, I don't think any amount of settling of AS3 is going to bring that back. If that's the performance you want, I'd reapply.

if youve got the time, you might aswell just reaply, as your overclock has deteriorated, it looks like something happened to it.
