Hello everyone, I have a Stock sqaure AMD heatsink with fan, and when cleaning some old thermal paste off, I found that there was globs of thermal paste inbetween the grooves on the heatsink. I ignored it and continued on. could this thermal paste affect my tempatures or could it some how find its way onto my mobo? It's Arctic Silver 5.
