ahh am i okay??

okay i accidentally put too much asII on my tbird... when i was wiping it i accidentally put some on the ceramic... it might have hit some of the little transistors but i wiped it off i think.. anyway i just said "shiz i better just try it out".. so i installed my the vantec fan (that was pretty damn easy), put in a spare pc100 ram, my video card and i went at it...

so it posts, 1000mhz...no beeps and it goes to detect the harddrives (i had none plugged in) so i turned off the computer... there was only that 1 beep when theres no error (im pretty sure)

so am i okay?

So far it sounds a-o-kay. When you hear it POST, its always a good thing.

artic silver isn't very conductive, they were very careful to make it so it wouldn't conduct. They say theonly way it really conducts is on very high pressure.

 

[SiliconVandal]

Very high pressure isn't possible inside your case. The stuff is really non-conductive, you could have left it on and been fine.

okay phewwwwww

hopefully none of my multipliers are messed up id be sad but yea i read that its not really conductive but they said to keep it away from traces and transistors 'n' crap

(im just using transistor cuz i dont know what the dang thing is called btw )

I would still take a few minutes to get it all cleaned up and reapply a very thin layer of compound.
Carefully attach the H.S.

i got most of it off... theres still a little silver residue and my nail polish remover couldnt get it all off... i put a thin layer on the core tho... what can i do to get it off the ceramic?

 

[medic]

If you got most of it, except for what is probably just a stain then you should be fine.

 

[johneetrash]

yea thats what i thought it was like a stain
