During installing the heatsink, I think I used uneven force. Paste is visible here on the bottom side. Temps seem fine, but haven't stressed it yet. Is this ok?
As long as the heatsink is clamped down properly and the thermal paste is non-conductive (any paste that ships with a cooler is) then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
