Spilled thermal paste

[NateKingCole]

hmmm, first time applying thermal paste and I kinda got it on the chip. not too badly, but not great. I tried to clean it but without much luck. it's on about 25% of the chip now. Should I bother getting isopropyl and cleaning it well and redoing it? I guess what I'm asking is, will it conduct electricity or decrease preformance? it's the OCZ ultra II thermal paste. Thanks

get some alchohol...it will definitly remove it...acetone also works well...a damp rag works too...

3 386DX-25's...12 volts...glue some ln2 and a wicked amount of overclocking and you get a willamantee minus 36 pins, 33.75 million transistors and a couple hundred mhz... 😎
