I was replacing the Factory thermal paste on my CPU and AIO during a hardware upgrade and applied too much Arcticlean TPR to it and didn't realize that i did and that some broke the liquids surface tension on the cpu and spilled over into the socket. I didn't know that this had happened and i went on oblivious to it and i ended up Entirely Reassembling my PC. I didn't notice that anything was wrong until i glanced at HW monitor later that night and Saw Crazy Readings from the Mobos Temp Sensors. Regardless of the reading the mobo was barely warm to the touch under full load at that time. Here are those readings...

I Shrugged it off as a bad Thermal paste application and ran it as it was for a week with no issues beyond the high Temp readings. I then realized when i was replacing my AIOs fans today while reapplying thermal paste. That i had did the exact same thing. I then removed the CPU from the socket and was greeted by dampness from the Thermal paste remover not only on the CPUS pin but in the socket. I have used %70 Isopropyl alcohol (It was all i had) to remove the Paste remover from both the cpu and socket. I doused it down and let it all evaporate twice on each. Everything still works and im using the same system, board and CPU to type this now; but my temp readings are still crazy.
My questions are.
Could i have permanently damaged my Mobos Sensors?
Could there be arcticlean coating Sensors somewhere else and Should i try to use higher Concentration Alcohol to potentially remove any remaining residue?
