Just be careful with the thermal paste. I was not overly impressed with my NV5. No matter how many times I reseated it, I could never get very good temps.

Ceramique supposedly is not conductive or capacitive, so it is unlikely that it could short any connections on your board. Maybe you tightened it a little too much and damaged the core or a memory chip.
