Yeah so it was my first time applying thermal paste it was the injection type cartridge and i emptied the entire thing on the processor but instead of making a pea sized dot i made a slash type from corner to corner and while putting on my HSF some of it got on the green circuit part of the processor. I fired up my PC and it ran but i'm kinda paranoid. So will it affect my processor in terms of temperature and should i remove it or should i keep it since it's only a little bit. Also i don't have the tools to clean it so that's why i haven't but if its going to make a difference then i'm willing to buy the stuff.

if its conductive material based, you are at risk
Also I recently tried cleaning it a bit however since i didn't have isophoryl alcohol there was still some residue left. Also I've been reading in a lot of forums that i would have to reapply the thermal paste because i removed the HSF to clean but im not really sure since this was a brand new paste that i just applied last night and i only removed it for around 10 minutes. So what do you think should i just completely remove the thermal paste and apply new one (which would be a massive pain in the ass because i would have to buy isophoryl alcohol and new thermal paste) or should i keep this? Also i don't know if my thermal paste is conductive atleast i don't think it is. My paste is the stock thermal paste you get from cooler master hyper 103.

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.
    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
