I installed my CPU cooler this afternoon and just noticed that I put it on the wrong way round as it is now blocking the 16x PCI-E slot. Can I just take the cooler off and turn it around or should I remove and then reapply the thermal paste before putting it back on? I only applied the paste this afternoon so it should still be fairly fresh.

Any help is appreciated :).
