will it make it conductive ?

Go to solution Solved by ThomasD,

actually i did i applied it more >.> and it leaked of sides and went in the cpu pins 

The solution to this problem is use less paste.

 

Even when using non-conductive paste applying too much is bad - excess paste serving as a heat trap that will keep heat on or near the CPU, as opposed to a thin film than will transfer it to the cooling block.

 

But as to your question, no the tiny amount of residual paste is not likely to contain enough conductive material to matter.

hi guys so basically i bought a new cpu and applied the cooler master 212 evo thermal paste on it as it was the only one i found in local stores >.> 

 

after a week i found noctua nt - h1 and i ordered it online as it is non electricaly conductive while as the cooler master one is conductive 

 

 

so i was not able to find any isopropyl / rubbing alcohol but i cleaned the cpu  with tissues the only thermal paste left  was on the edges of the copper pipes of 212 evo where the pipes meet i tried my best to clean them but was not able too i tried my best .... but even though i am done

now  i am still a little worried as my old cpu died as cooler master paste killed it as it was conductive ...

 

do u think it will make noctua conductive?

Copper is conductive with or without paste... that's why it's used in virtually all cabling.

i mean the last thermal paste went into the cpu golden pins and friend it i cleaned the one on cpu but there was still some left in edges of cooler but i was not able to get rid of it so will it make the noctua one conductive ?

um, conductive thermal paste wont kill a CPU, unless you do something stupid

er....

how did the paste go into the pins???????

First: why are you putting it on your CPU pins?

Second: It won't hurt anything unless it's on the connections of the CPU

If it's leaking that much, you need to calm down the usage.

1st) i am not 

 

2nd) i know what i am asking is simply if the remaining 3 % residue will make the new thermal paste conductive that is the question

I'm going to need to see a picture to know what you mean.

Well if you got thermal compund on the pin on your motherboard....
