Question when putting thermal paste

[Nadbuddy]

Hi! I just installed my new 212 Evo Cooler, and as most guides show.. they put the thermal paste on the CPU, which did before reading the manual as i thought i knew what to do, but the instruction said to put them on the coolers square (that faces the CPU). 

EDIT: I did both ways and later cleaned both with the ArctiClean again and decided to put it on the cooler square

 

I tried cleaning my CPU from my old thermal paste with ArctiClean and i noticed how the water kinda went UNDER the CPU.. just a little bit though, and i was a bit worried whether it will die faster or that i wouldn't work.
Then i tried placing thermal paste on the coolers square (? ) which kinda spread it almost all of the CPU, not too much on the borders though which i think is good.

Anyways my point is, is it super dangerous if liquid comes in contact with the bottom of the CPU?

 

 

EDIT: this below is about the 212 EVO COOLER

Also, i had to take the rubber thing on the metal X that puts the heatsink and motherboard together as i had to push ALOT to put them together..

there was some sort of really small metal pole on the X platform which apparently couldnt fit between the X, im not sure if it was that pole or the rubber as after i took off the rubber i STILL had to put force..

comments?

 

shit this thing is complicated, first cpu cooler ive installed.

i hope the thermal paste was correctly put.

these are my temps:

 

Idle

 

 

and this is when its on 100% (AIDA64)

You're in the clear. those temps are pretty good for 100% load.

Dude....what do you mean by ^^^ the CPU would be destroyed.

But some of the ArctiClean  that i used went under the CPU as i placed it ontop of the cpu, i kinda overflooded the top of the cpu slightly so it came off to the sides and under the cpu

I took the CPU out and placed it on a paper towel, so the mobo is still okay.

its not a problem, since its a mixture of alcohol/keton and very little water. so the hydrocarbons just evaporate the water, before it can do any damage

The reason why the CPU and motherboard is still ok is because the ArctiClean is an isopropyl alcohol mixture and not water, if it were water you would have dead components because you would have had sent power through it while it was still wet.
