Wet heatsink for CPU & more

[Gabriel Rios]

So I was dusting my pc for the first time and I I was doing small burst, then out of the sudden some wet white stuff come to the cpu fans. Im not sure it hit the cpu (amd fx 6300) but the fans were pretty cold for a little. I turned it on and it works fine and my temps are 16c and 32.9c max when just searching the interenet. Is there something wrong i, very paranoid about stuff like this. It seems to run fine but i need someone to tell me if it works alright and has anything bad. Are those temps normal? Also, off topic, is it ok for the side of the case to be scratched? Thanks.

1) the temps are fine.
2) If the computer case is scratched, thats fine.
3) If you scratched the cpu, that's not good, but I don't think thats what you meant.

I have no idea what you mean by white liquid, you may be referring to the thermal paste, but I don't think that you could place copious amounts of it to the point that it gets on the cpu fan.

The white stuff came from the bottle of air.

you just got some of the liquid that turns to vapor coming out of the can. It wont didn't hurt anything as your computer starts and I wouldn't have expected anything else unless your doing it on a powered up computer(then something could short out).

That liquid is called water. When you use that, the air inside decompresses and becomes very cold, causing water to condense and freeze.
