Hello!

Upon building my pc with the ASRock H310-CM-DVS motherboard and an I5-8400, i managed to break a pin (possibly VCC if i didnt count wrong). The CPU was used so was the board and it still had old thermal paste on it, so i decided to clean it with 40% vodka (the CPU was already in the socket). So what i wanted todo was pour some on it, wait a bit and clean it off. While pouring, i accidentally poured a bit too right to the cpu and it went through the cpu into the socket. Now dumb as i was i took the cpu out, dried off the back with some cotton pads and the socket.. So the cotton got stuck on one of the pins and i pulled and it came off (picture below). I put the cpu back, booted it up and it says No Video Output (yes the HDMI is in the gpu). I was wondering do i need a new mobo/cpu or is there a way to fix it?

Missing one (if not a few) VCC pin doesnt hurt anything, I suspect something else shorting because 40% alcohol isn't high at all when it comes to cleaning stuff (at least 70%, if not 99%)

Yeah you more than likely should buy a new motherboard, don't use Vodka to clean things in the future either lol, did your friends tell you to do that or something?

Yeah, probably i shouldn't do that. But the cpu is fine though?
