I got some on all four and it connects them all. Luckly i t didnt get on the bridges.

Is this safe?

how can i fix it?

The relative conductivity of AS is next to nothing, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Personally I would try to get it off.

I spilt some all over my T-Bird, funnily enough, of all things i used a rubber / eraser to remove it, worked a treat, had to keep cleaning the rubber my running it along the carpet every few seconds but it all came off nicely enough.

Artic Silver is condictive, even if only a small amount (hence the name artic SILVER) which could cause you problems.

Let us know if you get it off.

Hope this helps.

Thanx I'll try it right now.

But does anyone know if the transistors by yhe L7 bridges would cause a problem if the artic silver does bridge them ?

[Liquid_N2]

Im not a 100% sure, but i would guess that that may do something nasty.

Best not to risk it :)

get enough of the stuff on there and it will give you troubles Qtips and acohol works good and a pencil eraser work too ;

[MidnightClocker]

Thank God.

My CPU works fine.

I use the eraser and that cleaned up almost all of it.

Your probably wondering what CPU I got and what stepping.

Its a T-bird 1.2 266FSB AVIA foe neutonet.com


Thanks again
