Thermal paste mishaps are actually quite common - either too much or too little paste is used or it gets into places it shouldn't! This instance is no exception! We'll simulate a thermal paste disaster and walk you through how I, personally, deep-clean and restore them back to working states. Come along for the ride!

Good video, it shows that the world doesn’t end when some (or a lot) thermal paste ends up between the pins.

I have to swap CPUs on a daily basis (I work at a large tech company) for validation testing. I had a CPU socket that had a small amount of thermal paste in it and tried to clean it with IPA and the same kind of brushes and had some of the bristles come loose from the brush in the socket, however I couldn't see them and wasn't aware there were bristles in the socket. I had to get one of the rework techs to use their magnifier (100X) to see the bristles and remove them. Once everything was cleaned up the board booted up without issue. Instead of using the Q-tips on the underside of the CPU, use the brush. Also, you can spray the underside of the CPU with the IPA.
@mikey_atl Місяць тому
I also believe that if you put the mobo on its side you can spray a non-residue forming electronics component cleaner into the socket so there is nothing abrasive at all touching the pins. I've had luck with that in the past. Also works tremendously on other slots if you have a motherboard covered in cigarette smoke tar shmoo.

@TheGameBench Місяць тому
Yep, fixed this multiple times like this. I've only ever dealt with something this bad once. Usually I've just had to deal with instances where people applied so much TIM in ended up in the socket. Another option for people that are too scared to touch the pins is some Deoxit55 or CRC electronics cleaner. That stuff can eat it up and blast it out of the socket. But you might want to hit the whole board with with an IPA bath afterwards and blow it out with compressed air.
@citanulthelunatic Місяць тому
Glad to see you got it working again, but there were a few things you could have done better. As you noticed yourself, throw away those brushes, they were arguably making the situation worse by shedding bristles. It would be best to use an ultra soft/super soft toothbrush or baby toothbrush, they usually also have nylon bristles and won't shed. Also better to use the brush on the CPU too instead on qtips, they tend to leave fibers on small sharp bits like the SMDs. Secondly I would not go poking into unbent pins with a needle. To get the bristles out I would have let the socket dry first and then used a small squeezable blower to blow them out. The electric duster could work too I suppose, it's just less targeted. Maybe canned air, though that seems a bit overkill on pressure. A squeeze blower is really handy when working on small delicate stuff. I also think using the duster to "dry" the IPA was a mistake, as it ended up spreading thermal paste residue all over the board. I would have at least put down paper towels around the socket first to contain it, but I think you could have just gently dipped the corner of a paper towel into the socket to get most of it and then wait for the rest to dry, and dry around it with paper towels. IPA is good to get most of the thermal paste off. For the residue at the bottom you should try contact cleaner. But all in all, glad to see it worked out okay!
@zadekeys2194 Місяць тому

I've actually had a lot of luck using Electrical Contact Cleaner, found in the automotive department in a lot of stores, to remove thermal paste. It cuts right through the paste and dries quicker, too. I've had to do multiple passes when using Isopropyl. Might be worth a look.
@cardsfanbj Місяць тому
I'd be curious whether the system would boot with the thermal paste in it. If it's not electrically conductive, would it be enough of a barrier between pin and pad to prevent contact? Or would it boot but potentially be less stable than if it were not gooped up? As for cleaning the SMDs on the bottom of the CPU, an alternative might be automotive electronics contact cleaner, since it's lightly pressurized it might make cleaning small components a little easier/safer.

Just saying this to ensure that all RAM slots work and all M.2 slots as well. Great Videos honestly.

if you have bent pins and want to check, I found having a good top light shining down, and using a phone to take a picture from 2 different angles, the reflection from the light shows discrepancies with alignment pretty good. (played around with some old Work E-waste PC's they let me have once and dropped the CPU in) An untested thought for cleaning, an electric dental floss using Isopropyl Alcohol instead of water may help get it out from under the pins?

@WolvenSpectre Місяць тому
This would be one for the dishwasher/sink and soft toothbrush to be followed up buy an alcohol bath for me. Heat and water action would get more of that paste out because of the thermal properties of the paste. And of course I would remove the battery first. If you want to be real fancy you could do a heated ultrasonic bath to get rid of the paste. For those who are saying "NO NOT WATER", it is how some brands get their boards ready after testing, and they are baked at hundreds of degrees so they should be good. The alcohol bath helps evaporated the water. It is what is often used in repair with an ultrasonic washer.

with a very soft (fine tip preferably )brush and some alcohol like 99% because it disintegrates thermal paste and it leaves almost no residue behind . clean gently and rince and repeat until it is cleaned completely . let dry completely before powering on the board and be very gentle and careful not to bend pins . so it is fixable ( remedied or repairable or whatever word that can apply lol ).

@MateusMeddeiros Місяць тому
I have a doubt, wouldn't the residue thermal paste in the socket be under a lot of heat? If yes this would cause it to stay "pasty" right? And due to the normal orientation that these parts (mobo and cpu) stay in a case (vertical), that "pasty" thermal paste could slide into the contact points between the pins and the pads on the cpu causing problems like not posting, etc?

Put it all back together and off you go. Been doing that for about twenty years without issues. Just don't power it up while it's wet. All of my motherboards look like brand new. Used to be an overclocker. Lots of Vaseline and sealers were used on my boards when getting boards super cold. You couldn't tell the boards were ever sealed afterwards.
