RedDevil6193 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 So my cpu was getting hot on my desktop and it was keep giving me notifications. I decided to take it out, put new paste and then put it back. In between i think i derped and it went into the holes of the thing where processor goes and some on processor. See pics below to understand what i am talking about lol. What should i do now?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silly Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 my suggestion is to get a shop vaccum, and blow all of it out of the holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Looks like you used waaaaaaaay to much Thermal paste bro. All you need is a thin ass layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 my suggestion is to get a shop vaccum, and blow all of it out of the holes Are you serious? Vacuums have retarded amounts of static electricity. My mother blew our television up with a tiny shitty 15 dollar vacuum. don't go near it with the shop vac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranHorse Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 ok you have to be very careful with this.... Take a very small plastic tooth pick (or wood plastic wont break) and dip it in rubbing alcohol (GET 85% rubbing alcohol or higher you can get 99% at most places and that is best). Get it all out very carefully. Once it is clean let it sit for a few hours. DO NOT BEND THE PINS, you will have a bad time. Also what paste is it? Many paste now days do not conduct electricity so its shouldnt be an issue, if its AS or something then it is conductive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you better by very gentle messing around with the pins on the processor and motherboard as one bend with ruin the entire thing, and the bend very easily.

RedDevil6193 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Ya i tried to clean it up and still not working idk if i blew up motherboard or processor, or may be there is still some stuck in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 You will most likely have to replace the motherboard :/ With the thermal grease getting into the CPU socket, there's no saving it. If and when you get a new M/B and you are going to use the same CPU, make sure there's no residue on any of the individual pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CantBeFaded Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Just use some Dawn dish soap in some hot water. Stuff works every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Dam dude that sucks, I would Definitely use a shop vac... those processors can handle the static zaps [sarcasm]. So, No shop vac. How easy is it to move? Would you be able to use a can of compressed air to blow some extra off and then use the toothpick method? I don't know what you can do with the paste in the socket holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
