Hi guys,

I removed a heatsink and a CPU from a system that unfortunately had too much paste applied and got spilled into the socket and CPU pins (B550 and 5600X).

What would you advise to clean it properly? it is not a huge amount but enough to leave it there and risk ruining the parts!

Many thanks

PS: could I use acetone?
