I applied thermal paste, installed heatsink, noticed there was a overflow. Removed heatsink to clean and reinstall with less paste. A string o paste oozed onto mobo cpu slot ( very miniscule) cleaned with qtip and rubbing alcohol. I got most of it but a very small amount still lingers in one or two pin slots. Is this a big deal? Pins will still make connection, its not connecting two pins.
However some got on the side of the cpu pins themselves ive cleaned it up as best i can. Again very small amount. Pictures will be attached. Pleae guys.. do you think its safe to put back together or do i need some sort of cleaning kit?
