hi, I did my build yesterday with a e8500 and an arctic cooler freezer 7 pro. Apparently the base of the heatsink came with pre-applied MX-1. I did not know this until today, so I had added some arctic silver 5 on the base of my cpu and just put on the heatsink&cooler. My cpu idles at around 24c, but i'm worried incase this contaminated the area, and will lead to problems in the future when they cure/mix well. So should I leave it, or remove and wipe clean with alcohol.
THanks guys
