So, I just got my after market CPU cooler in for my AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE, and as I was taking the CPU out of the motherboard to clean the thermal compound off, some of the compound slid off and went into the CPU socket. I have no idea how bad this is, but what should I do? I don't want to put my CPU in and fry everything, nor do I want to break something trying to clean it. Here is a pic of the CPU socket on my motherboard and the thermal compound in some of the pin holes
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
