    Didn’t the LTT YouTube channel do this and show the system still works?

    Not to say that you should do this though.

      Yeah, thermal paste is non-conductive by design. As long as the pins get contact in the socket it should be fine.

        That just depends on the contents of each specific thermal paste. It can contain silver, making it potentially conductive.
