I'm afraid to even start mining.. It's running into the ASICs etc... What should I do?

Out of three miners one of mine looked like that.   Its no big deal.   With the unit unplugged a little rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab will easily remove the excess thermal compound.   No noticeable impact to how well the machine works.
