Mobo block, should I refit

[Dirk Diggler]

Feel like a total newb here.

If you look at the pictures of the pads, they look as if they have slid slightly as I've placed the block. Should I go to the trouble of reinstall or will it be fine?

Also, I didn't think so at the time but maybe I put too much paste on the South Bridge?

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Could that paste on the south bridge risk a short circuit? If not, I'll just leave it like that.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Depends on what paste you used. But yeah, that does look to be way too much

AS5.

I'll just strip and redo it, will teach me to take my time in future.
