So friends kid upgrades CPU/HSF. Doesn't ask for help till after it won't POST.
I never seen anything like this. There's enough thermal paste on the processor to do 4 more jobs. The stuff doesn't even look like it was compressed with the heat sink.
Anyway he's got the stuff everywhere, on the MB, all parts of the processor, even the socket handle.
I'm pretty sure he toasted something...everything?
Just for humor are there any advance methods to clean it off besides 90% isopropyl alcohol and q-tips/lint free cloths?
EDIT: Even got it on the GPU! Worse, pins on Ryzen CPU. How the F do you clean that?
