Little bit of thermal paste got in between the gap of cpu and metal plate

I was a bit careless when i was installing my new fan and some thermal compound got out of th emetal plate and down to the sides of the green thing of the cpu. I tried to remove as much as i could using a cotton tip but some still remain. Is this a problem that i would need to take the cpu to some "tech fixing places" or is it not a problem?

It was a stock thermal paste from the Grand Kama Cross 3 fan

You mean underneath the CPU? Just take the CPU out and clean it. 

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!
