Yesterday, i was cleaning my CPU Fan so detach the fan & clean off those thermal paste but previously i put too much paste so the processor surface were a thick layer off paste. I used toilet paper to wipe it off but some of the paste went to the edge side between the processor green board & i was careless when wipe the edge & some of the paste stick on the green board. I was a bit panic & pour in alot of zippo lighter fluid to liquid those thermal paste on the processor green board & wipe it off. When pouring the zippo fluid accidently pour too much,soaking the whole surface & those thermal paste on the proc suface were liquid went all over the proccesor but lucky it didnt hit the socket of the processor.
I have clean off those paste as clean as possible but what i'm worried is that the liquid thermal paste may went inside the processor. Will there be any problems if using the processor in long terms as currently using it with no problems?
i dont think it will be a problem as long as the thermal paste didnt touch the processor pins.I have clean off those paste as clean as possible but what i'm worried is that the liquid thermal paste may went inside the processor.

most of the thermal paste is non electric conductive so u should not worry much if u dont mind the ugly look.
