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.
