Hi, I made an error today and accidentally placed a small amount of thermal paste on the CPU pins. It’s only at the bottom near the solder pad on the Ryzen 5 3600, so it shouldn’t interfere with how tightly the pin fits in the socket. Will this impact the CPU performance?

I don't believe adding a thermal paste to the pins is wise. It might cause drying issues later, leading to bigger problems. I suggest cleaning it up now to avoid future complications.
