URGENT! Cooling compound on motherboard CPU/SOCKET pins
Hi, I've jsut bought a Q6700 and while taking out my old P4 3.4gh cooling compound has got onto the motherboard's CPU pins for connecting to the CPU. I'm sh!tting myself. What is the best way of getting it off. Should I get rid of the cooling compound - im worried about short circuiting my new, expensive CPU.
Thanks
EDIT: Board ASROCK Penryn 1600SLI skt775
Current thermal paste: some ebuyer cheap shit
