It's crucial to remove all traces of thermal paste from the CPU edges for optimal performance and reliability. Leaving any residue can cause issues over time. Your concern is valid—making sure it's thoroughly cleaned helps prevent future problems.

As long as the upper section of the IHS remains pristine, indicating it properly touches the cooler, any problems are nonexistent. Reminder: Is this a genuine 11900K model? All units of the 10900K have already been sold out.

I’m not sure if it was sold out. I was hoping for a 11900K. It worked well on the board I just removed.
