yes recently I bought a BeQuiet pure rock, to replace the stock cooler on my FX-8370E. I'm a idiot sometimes; well I put too much TM30 thermal paste, to have it spill off the sides of my cpu after putting the cooler on.
unfortunately after booting I noticed reduced performance, sometimes CPU fan errors, as the fan was running at around 500 rpm and was showing red in the BIOS
later to my surprise after hours of annoyance and stress I found the thermal paste had just not leaked onto the sides, but on one side it went all the way down to the pins.
i guess it's kinda minor, although it has I believe seeped into the holes of the socket, because 2 pins had some thermal paste on their tips, and some on the base of a few pins nearing the side where the leakage occurred
i believe my CPU was possibly throttling because of the low fan speeds, but I'm pretty sure my CPU knows how to spin fans, as my stock cooler always sounded like a jet engine
ps. thanks if you help, if not still thanks, also i am not pursuing the fixation of my grammatical mistakes to display emotion
