Help! I accidentally put Ryzen 7 1700 pre applied thermal paste on my CPU socket on my motherboard. Is my pc at high risk. I had been using my pc for like 3 months and it has been working bizarrely.
Yes, I'm sure because I did it successfully several times, just make sure it's dried up good. Isopropyl alcohol is used because it's a good solvent, evaporates fast and doesn't damage anything.are you sure it is a good idea because I don't want to do something that is unnecessary and run the risk of ruining my pc even more
Yes, that well may be the reason. Just rubbing it on top with alcohol may not be enough. I would take MB right out, hold it horizontally upside down and squirt some concentrated isopropyl alcohol (not rubbing alcohol) with a syringe and small needle. Leave it a day or so to dry. I saved couple of MBs like that.also, is that the reason my PC is freezing randomly and applications"not responding" because of the thermal paste in CPU socket.
