Hello, I'm in the process of building my first computer.

I installed my i5 3570k and stock cooler (plan to overclock in 6 months), but then I realised it would be better if I rotated the cooler round 180 degrees for cable management, so without ever being on I removed the cooler and changed it round. Is it necessary to replace thermal grease even though it has never run because someone said you should with every removal?
Thanks guys
