New Phenom X4 965 Mishap with arcti clean Thermal Material Remover andThermalPurifer

Long story short My niece soaked my whole cpu front sides and back with

artciclean thermal remover and there surface purifier. It was soaking wet with

both liquids. I did my best to shake the excess liquid off. The back surface of

the cpu where the pins are stuck into, went from a light matte finish to being

shiny and darker. I let it dry over night and it stayed shiny on the back.

Anyways its now in my comp and im typing on it. So will i be fine or should i buy another cpu.. Im about to prime test and such.

It will be fine, arcticlean wouldnt have caused any damage.

I managed to get TIC all over the pins on my Athlon 6400+ CPU and in the socket which I then proceeded to drop my PII 955BE into and got TIC all over it as well. I proceeded to clean the socket with white spirit. I literally soaked the CPU socket and the bits of the RAM and PCI-E lanes which had some TIC on as well and left it to dry over 24 hours. The CPU's I both dropped into white spirit (they are pneumatically sealed) and cleaned them off with a toothbrush careful not to bend any of the pins. I am now running my PII 955BE in my M2N-SLI Deluxe board, which will not operate in dual channel memory mode as the mem controller is fudged at 3.6GHz stable.

So trust me, it could have been a lot worse - and dont worry, its absolutely fine.

 

lol for super cleaning your contacts
