Hi im reporting to you, because my i5 4690 with stock freq reachs with intel turbo boost 3900.1mhz 3900.3mhz and i don'tknow that is a problem or not.

Not ever is at 3900.3, normally stay at 3900.0 mhz.

i shold sai too that in my socket lga 1150 fall some thermal paste but i believe that is not electrically conductivity. Now im writing this report with the pc xD

thanks for your attention and have a nice day.

I have a i5-4690 too which reaches 3906.07 MHz. It should be perfectly OK at that speed.

The real problem here is that you dropped thermal paste into the socket. While I don't recommend you to go and fish it out (that will damage the pins) it could be blocking some of the pins from making contact with the CPU. If your PC is working fine though you should be OK. Just be careful next time.
