So i am in serious problem. I bought new thermal paste to have better temperatures. So i unscrew heatsink, got rid off thermal paste, and applied the new one. When everything was done, i tried to start the PC and it just didnt do anything. So i checked what is wrong and figured out that when I was cleaning the paste, little of paste came to Am4 socket and CPU. Now i dont know what to do since the pc doesn't even start the fans. I will post photos of the socket and CPU.

<let keep it civil here, removed>  Anyway, you need new mobo and probably CPU too.

Clean up the whole socket with something like alchohol deluded with water and also clean the CPU and LET IT DRY OUT BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TURN IT ON. Preferably wait around 24 hours to let it full dry.

Be very careful around the CPU pins as well.

 

After cleaning it all and letting it all dry, it should turn on (as long as it is not electrically conductive paste and thus didn't short anything).

Genetically modified pea sized amount I would assume :P

Take a wooden pick and a q tip, and gently brush the thermal paste off the cpu, the qtip is too pick up the paste, and the pick to move it forward.

 

You only need to put thermal paste the size of a pea.

Never deluded alcohol in water if you are going to put it on a electronic. Water in alcohol will make it more electrically conductive, and that is bad for electronics. The reason why people use alcohol to clean electronics is because 1, It is so much less conductive and 2, because it evaporates quickly

Setup:

 AMD Ryzen 5 1600

Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 570 8GB

MSI B350 PC Mate

Corsair Spec-01

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2400mhz

Kingston A400 120GB

Seagate Barracuda 2TB

Thermaltake Smart RGB Series 600W

The thermal compound is without any metals. I put lot of it, iam stupid.

Pea size, or use clingfilm on your finger to ensure a smooth layer is applied. I'm not even sure how you're going to get out of the socket, the CPU will just be a matter of patience with some tissue + alcohol.
