So I applied too much thermal paste onto my new noctua NH-D15 and had to wipe it off with 100% alcohol and some cotton swabs, I took some photo's of my new install, it looks like it belongs on the large end of the spectrum of Thermal Compound Applications but after wiping the edges none of the paste has gone over the edge of the processor.
I just need someone to clarify whether I have to re-do it using even less paste or whether that is fine and won't affect my temperatures.
BTW. I'd prefer not to do it again if I will only have microscopic performance differences as 100% alcohol isn't easy to come by seeing how it isn't legal for sale anymore.
