As I re-delid because my temps didn't got down much I got a little tiny bit of liquid metal on the underside of the CPU on one of the little circle metal things and I wiped it with isopropyl alchohal but it still leaves a little bit of liquid metal residue on the underside of pcb and it won't go away... do I have anything to worry about? It's the side that is set down into the motherboard

Yes. Unwanted contact with the wrong pins can damage your mobo and CPU.

Liquid metal is conductive, so if you have any of that on the bottom of the CPU you could short something and kill it or the motherboard.

you could easily cause a short. Maybe keep trying to clean it completely , since it without a doubt could kill both your cpu and motherboard. This comment is no different than the ones before it, i just wanted to confirm what they said.

What do you guys have any ideas of how I can get it off? Because using a Q-tip and alcohol isn't working for me

It looks like I got all of it off just for some reason it now looks a little discolored not sure if you can see it

As long as the pads aren't bridged.

 

If it ate through the gold, not good.

 

If it got on the top of the PCB under the metal ihs, not good.

I don't think it's bridged from one pin to another but I think it ate a little of the gold on the pin

You might be ok if it was only on it for a short time.

That looks like residue all good. You usually have to sand that off of the ihs and cooler if you use it as traditional paste.

I can't tell if it's stained or the gold plate got dissolved but if I put it in the mobo like that I should be okay?

It still shines on that pin so I think personally I'll be okay I'm just stressing myself out

If the plate in question is dry it's ok. I'd run it.

From one angle it looks like the picture I showed you but from another angel it looks damn near normal so I don't think much damage occurred I think I should be good but I'll update post when I tested it
