This Christmas I got a AMD 64 3000+ and DFI Lanparty sli-dr w/ Artic silver 5 thermal gel. The first time I put it on I ****ed up so I took it off redid it. But in the process I got a little thermal Gel on the pins. So that leads me to this question did I mess it up. I also wiped off as good as I could with a cotton swab and put it back in. Then i powered it up with a psu and screwdriver, but I didnt have a video card so I couldnt see what was going on but it started just fine.

PS- (wont be back till 27th of Dec)

Thanks for replies! Moderman

true, but it has a slight capacitance. as long as you did your best effort in removing as much as you could, you're good


though, i think we need to have a word if you're using enough thermal paste to get it on the pins. no more than 2/3rd of a BB pellet:
