Gelid GC Extreme left small particles on the chip. Is it OK?

Good Day!
I have applied Gelid GC Extreme to my Intel Chip on the motherboard and placed the heatsink on. Then I decided to check, does thermal paste had spreaded correctly after heatsink`s pressure. That was OK. But when I cleaned thermal paste in order to reapply it, I have noticed, that there are small white particles left on the chip, which can not be cleaned out not by using Isoprophyl Alcohol, or ArcticSilver ArctiClean.

So now I am worried, does Gelid GC Extreme damaged my chip, or it is OK to have those particles?

Nah, you're thiking more of it than is necessary. It's not like the Extreme Cooling Liquid Metal Pro that was around for a long while. It apparently corroded aluminium parts over time. I can't find the link to it but one of our community contributors, 4Ryan6, did a test and that thing was crazy bad.

Try and clean as much of it as you can otherwise if it's hitting your OCD badly you pick up ArctiClean two part cleaner.
