Very small amount of themral paste on Ryzen Pins?

Was putting my new cooler and on and I had some thermal paste on my hand accidently. 

 

On 2 of the side pins a bit got on them. I don't have access to 99% alcohol where i live so I spend two or so hours cleaning the pins with both paper and Q-tips VERY thoroughly. There was no visible paste and the only thing that could possibly have remained was a tiny layer on the bottom of the pin. The PC is botting and running OK

 

Any concern here? I know thermal paste isn't conductive. Master gel v2

As long as it boots and runs fine, it's fine.

I had an... er, "incident" with a Ryzen system that got a nice splash of goop on the socket.

 

As my luck would have it, there weren't any stability problems, since thermal paste isn't conductive it's relatively safe to get a little on the pins.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

My 1600X died in an accident of a bit too thermal glue (paste).

Some got on the socket, covering 10 or so pin holes.

Nothing went wrong and my system is stable at a 4.2 GHz overclock.
