[SOLVED] So I kinda smudged my cpus thermal paste. Ryzen 7 1700

[satansapprentice68]

So I ordered a Ryzen 7 1700
It's my first time building A pc and I accidentally touched the pre applied thermal paste. The box was sealed. But I also noticed some sort or a weird color on the thermal paste.
(Sorry im colorblind)
And I'll attach a picture of the thermal paste.
I don't know if I should get it replaced or clean it off completely and apply new thermal paste.
If I have to clean it then how do I do it?

the cooler already as pre-applied paste on it its fine if you want too clean off what is there already just alcohol on a cloth stronger the better. when you do the drop only a grain of rice size not much.

The discoloration should not hurt the performance at all, I'd personally replace the paste, looks like it was burnt or something but none the less it will still do the job.
