Hello I was building my new Pc last night and made the error when installing my Antec Kuhler 1200 Pro AIO CPU cooler of applying the paste and seating it on the processor and tightening the bolts to realise I'd left the plastic strip on the copper face.

I quickly took it off and removed the plastic strip added a bit more thermal paste and re fastened.

Did I do the right thing or am I going to encounter future problems now?

Thanks in advance!
 
No the computer didn't get switched on, the paste was still wet when I took the plastic off and I only reapplied a small amount of paste. I guess I'm just going to have to monitor the temperature when I finally finish building it tonight. Thanks for putting my mind at ease.
