Hi all,
After I knocked my Zalman CNPS-9500AM2 while rewiring all the power cables in my new pc, the temps while idling went up by about 5 Celcius (Not really a problem as still idles at 33), So I took of the heatsink and wiped off the old thermal paste, Put some more on etc
The problem is I accidentally wiped a tiny amount of the thermal paste onto the base of about 5 of the pins on the edge of the underside. I wiped all that I could off but it looks to me like theres enough there to short some of the pins (if the paste conducts).
Will this cause a problem?
Should I boot up and see what happens?
Any idea for somthing small enough to clean between the pins?
Thanks for any advice
ps. thanks for putting up with my endless questions about my new pc
