Hi everyone I am custom watercooling my ryzen 2700x and I got a small amount of thermal compound of my cpu pin  my dad has built multiple pcs and I have built 2 he said leave it as the thermal paste has an extremely low conductivity I have since put it back in and mounted my waterblock. In your opinion will it work? I haven't booted it as I needed more fittings thanks for all your help

Probably.  Your dad looked at it and it sounds like he has some experience.  what kind of paste was it?  Many are not electrically conductive but a few are.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

It was the wraith prism paste as I was removing it from the processor

He’s very likely right then.  I doubt AMD uses liquid metal or silver fill powder in their freebie paste.
