Hi.
Just installed the CPU to the motherboard and the stock cooler to the cpu (phenom II 940). As I am a noob, i used my fingernail to scratch off a little of the thermal compound, not realising it was thermal compound and thinking it was a plastic cover (oops). My question is, would this effect the cpu in any way if a little bit of the thermal compound is missing? 95% of the cpu still has the compound on.
Anyone? Thanks.
