Hey community new here, I installed an AMD Ryzen 5 1400 on a MicroStar Mobo. I had played with the sync and unit fan trying it both ways and the thermal paste from the factory was rubbing off on the back end of the chip as I did this. Would this still be sufficient to leave alone? Or do I need to wipe off the chip and start again... I hear that air bubbles on the top of the chip could interfere with cooling of the CPU .. All I could see on the back of the CPU Chip is a gluey substance as I tried to seat the Sync/Fan just right onto the Mobo. Am I trouble with this?
Last time I installed a chip we did not have thermal paste so this is new for me. I hear this question asked a lot and I didn't hear a definitive answer.
