You are SO lucky that that stuff is non-conductive, or you could have said goodbye to that cpu and mobo...

I've seen a lot worse. At least it didn't leak over the side and into the socket

~Mike~ · 4 Apr 2011 at 17:11

Oh dear...............messy

At least you didn't get it into the socket!

Wasn't there a guy on here who got paste in the socket?

Hahaha

I'm glad I put it on the right side

Showboat · 4 Apr 2011 at 17:50

Haha, i did the same thing.
I took the cpu out without cleaning it and it dripped into the socket!

Lots of cleaning time later and it all worked. Still running fine over a year and a half later.
