Thermal paste spilled on mobo

Hi,

I accidentally spilled a little thermal paste on my mobo! Will any of this be a problem, and how can i remove it? I only realized halfway through wiring, so its been around 30 minutes

Rubbing alcohol on a q-tip will get that off with no harm done. Just let the alcohol evaporate before powering on. Should only take a few minutes to evaporate!

As long as the thermal paste is a non-conductive type (ex.: aluminum oxide and zinc oxide), spills on non-contact surfaces are harmless. Spills on contacts may cause poor or no electrical contact.
