Hey guys, today i decided to change my GCs thermal past becuase i was getting high temps. I removed the cooler, got some cotton pads and swabs, but when i grabed the alcohol i was stupid enough to spill a good amount of it over the card, i immediatly turned it over so it would drip, and then i removed the backplate
What should i do now? D: D: D:

Your best option is to let it dry naturally. Dont even use something like compressed air or a dyer, just let it sit out for a day, then stick it in an boot up.
Since it was alcohol, and the card wasnt powered, there should be no issue.

Alcohol dries faster than water (hence it's advisable to use alcohol when cleaning RAM's gold connector). It will dry up in less than a day, just make sure the room's temperature is warm. If you see that there's no alcohol on it, install it again.
