Hey guys, I recently bought my first gaming PC and built it myself. Everything went fine but when getting HWMonitor I noticed that my CPU was at around 45-55 degrees celsius on a fresh windows install and no programs open...is that normal? It still stays like that when doing tasks like googling, installing stuff etc. but then I decided ti play some fortnite and I looked at the end how much my CPU had reached while playing, and it reached 82 degrees :/ Is that bad? It's a completely new build, no reused parts. The CPU is a Ryzen 7 2700x running with the stock cooler. Also when cleaning the paste from the CPU the first time ( had some troubles wih the pc that arent worth mentioning ) I accidentaly didnt notice that I got some paste on my finger.
And also retarded me didnt clean it inside the socket but in my hands. Some paste slipped on the pins but I cleaned it 2 days in a row with a tooth brush and smaller brush that I had for my braces which fir perfectly there and I managed to get all the paste, though the pins remained colored a bit brownish because of the pastes color, can that be the problem? I read that I should clean it with alcohol? Its pretty hard to get it here where im living, basically no source for pure 90% alcohol, I only got a 70% bottle from another country. Would that work?
