if link doest work copy and paste








there is no thermal paste on any of the connectors they all just look a little paste-colored thou well ull see
 
GOOD GOD! I thought I was sloppy... but anyways thats a LOT of extra paste. Give it a go... it should be ok as long as you don't have any bridges connected.
 
lol yea read the topic in my first post



i had no idea wut i was doing and i was retarted and now i know it


im just asking if you think i got it all off based on that picture b/c like i said w/ the alchohol it looks like it comes off but then when it dries it goes back to that color....
 
Read what I posted on you link to earlier thread.
The CPU that I accidentally spilled and smeared AS on, looks grayish like AS after drying.
The CPU works though, but I was really worried for a while.
