For the record, cleaning seems to have fixed my unit. It overclocks to 237.5 Mhz comfortably now whereas it would not OC previously and many times would fail to run at all.

I am still curious how they managed to get paste in the holes where the screws go.
Probably because there is thermal paste also on the bottom of the boards, between the 'main' heatsinks (same as on the S1) and the boards.  If there is too much thermal paste there, as the screws get tightened it squeezes through the holes to the component side of the boards.
