Not sure if anybody else has experienced this but I was installing the Ryzen 5 1400 wraith stealth cooler (which has the pre-applied thermal paste) and I noticed that the thermal paste had tiny bits of cardboard or something stuck to it. This was a brand new unopened CPU. I didn't have any aftermarket thermal compound around so I just installed it and the temps seem to be okay for now but should I replace it with some aftermarket thermal paste? Or is it safe to leave it as is?
Thanks!
