I was changing the thermal paste on my cpu, and when I unscrewed the cooler and pulled it off the cpu was stuck to the bottom. I slid the cpu off because there was no other way to safely pull it off with the suction. Sometime in there I got a little bit of thermal paste on like 3 of the pins. I was too scared to wipe it off so I just put it back in and applied the thermal past and the cooler. When I turned it on, it worked fine but when I applied the auto oc using ryzen master, the mouse was stuttering during the stress test. Is it possible to leave it or should I clean it off?
