Do I need to remove this excess thermal paste that squished out? Or can I leave it?

Sorry for the horrible picture. It's hard enough to see with my eyes, let alone get a pic.
Totally agreed. Most thermal paste is non-conductive, so it's not really an issue if it goes too far. However, if you ever use liquid metal, you have to be more careful
The brand I am using is yeesterpaste. It was at microcenter. It has a little practice pad which was helpful. Turns out my gut feeling was not quite enough. But I may have been a little over zealous with the real one lol.
