So, I was cleaning the thermal paste off of a ryzen cpu I'm about to sell and when I tried to clean the thermal paste off of the sides, I think I may have gotten a bit of paste on 2 of the pins, what should i do?

Cheap soft toothbrush + 99% iso alcohol.

Honestly I can't tell if this is a joke or not. Wouldn't it bend the pins?

No, the pins are stronger than toothbrush bristles

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
