I wonder if its bad if there is a little thermal paste being pressured between the cpu and cpu coolers contact spot. There isnt too much of it coming out, just a little so what do you guys recommend me to do for it?
Also my ram is little bit in front of the cpu coolers fan coo, air intake space, about 1,5 cm away and 2cm from bottom side area is blocked by it. do i need to do something to that?

Hi,

Look at your temps, if it's too high their might be too much thermal past.

The worse danger about too much thermal paste is getting some in the cpu socket. Witch is vitally impossible to clean up and you will have to change the mobo.

when i put thermal paste of chips. i use two methods, the "small BB pellet in the center of the heatspeader" and spreading on chips without heatspreaders (like the old AMD processors or laptop processors. the amount itself shouldn't be that much) if you do it right you should have no squeeze out at all.
