Installing Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut on my i9-9900KS as per theTGK instructions. This is being installed on my ASUS Z390 Rog Maximus Xi Extreme motherboard in conjunction with my ekwb EK-Momentum ROG Maximus XI Extreme D-RGB Nickel + Plexi Monoblock (this is my first build) and per the monoblock instructions I was to flipped the motherboard over to tighten the monoblock screws going to the motherboard but in the process of doing this, I felt the monoblock slip just a tiny bit in place! This made me stop and think about what just happened which in turn I thought to myself don't worry about it and just keep going and tighten the screws in a cross pattern, after a few hours it started bothering me as I was wondering if I didn't do it properly would I end up with bad performance and temperatures?
So, I removed all the screws in the motherboard going to the monoblock and after removing I found that I did not need to do that! Grrrrrr! Because everything looked just fine!
Now to my question...
Can I just replace the monoblock as is or do I need to wipe the CPU clean of thermal paste and start over?
Thank you all for the help and support!
