[SOLVED] How to get rid of dust in CPU socket? LGA2011v3

[Faratnight]

Hi,

After my story with the CPU, I tried to start my computer again but noticed maybe thermal paste or some dust in the CPU socket and was wondering if I can take it out safely.

On the pic, dust might not appear but it's here if I look it eyes naked.

You can use clean compresses air. You can also use isopropyl alcohol or any contact cleaner that's safe for plastics.....but I would use the compressed air first...so the dust didn't get all gummed up by the alcohol.
