I assembled PC with 5900x on board but I wasn't sure if I did everything as it should be with a CPU.
I decided to reassembly everything.
When I took CPU from bay a little bit of thermal paste got on to pins (YES PINS)
Not the worst yet.
I started to clean pins. At the beginning with dry soft brush and then when I couldn't clean it I decided to go with little bit of ArctiClean.
At the end of cleaning my hand shaken and drop of ArctiClean got to pins.
I assembled PC and it is working - I can see bios only because I don't have a system yet.
It looked like an Image (I made it form sample in Gimp) I attached.
I f...d up but how badly ?
I dried it but there is a darker stain between pins. (On the PCB - not sure if CPU has PCB)
