Too much thermal paste??

[NewbieGamer69]

So i recently got an after market cooler the cooler master 212black edition rgb and after i mounted it i wanted to see if i overdid it with my thermal paste, keep in mind this is my first time doing this.

i used the stock grease that was im the bag the mastergel pro. Should i be worried it falling down to the crack bellow the heatspreader? Or is this normal, i attached a video so see for yourself maybe im just being paranoid.

If it falls down it's not gonna do anything. Almost all thermal compounds are non-conductive.

So youre saying theres 0 reasons for concern even if some of it goes over the heatspreder?

Your hardware is 100% safe.

It's non-conductive, so nothing in that respect will go wrong. If you get some within the pins of the CPU somehow later, that might be an issue. But right now, you're all good. If it was conductive, it might be a different story.

Thank you for the relief, completely unrelated but i got the fan connected to the jrgb port on my motherboard and it does work but i cant seem to select the fan individualy to the motherboards rgb, they are synced all the time, any ideas?
