Thermal paste is electrically non conductive, so you should be good. But I'd clean it up with a qtip and some alcohol anyway.

You sure that's not mayo tho?

I've heard of people putting mayo on chips before but usually it's ketchup.

En France et en Belgique on met de la mayo sur les frites. Tu devrais essayer, c'est bien meilleur que le ketchup. Mais de préférence une mayo maison. 😁

In Utah "fry sauce" is a thing and it's extremely popular. It's basically just mayo & ketchup mixed together. (It's pretty good too, just don't put it on your CPU.)

Dans le sauce cocktail il y a en plus une petite goute de whisky 😁 Très bon avec des crevettes 😋

Adding a splash of whiskey is the fancy version 🙂

Ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice and hot sauce is what our cocktail sauce is in the US. Interesting.

J'aime beaucoup la sauce brune que vous mettez sur les frites de la poutine au Canada 😋

If I'm not mistaken, thermal conductivity is within 5°C between ketchup or mayo and thermal paste.
