Hej,
I recently have added too much MX2 Thermal paste between the new heatsink and the CPU, upon removing the heatsink, thermalpaste was spreading over the edges of the CPU. Like in this example from bit-tech.net http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2009/09/intel-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-cpu-review/lynnfieldfront.jpg
Now i dont know if the CPU has been damaged, cause when i looked the first time, it seemed to be between the metal top and the green chip part. I removed this with toothpicks etc, but now i dont know if theres damage. I have included pictures of how it looks like.

Dont know either if removed something that actually belonged there, that i thought was thermal paste.
Have read that Arctic MX2 is non conductive and non capacitive regarding elictrically.
The CPU is a Core i7 920. Also have to note that a drip of this paste came into the PCI E slot.
Thanks for answering!
