Upgrading my CPU, do I need thermal paste removal?

Unless you work in a sterile environment though hand sanitiser is a waste of time, a bit of dirt is good for you, gives you a strong immune system.

??? I thought we are talking about CPU stuff?

No difference in my experience, you might save a few degrees, not worth worrying about unless you are ocd.
