Hi everyone, I accidentally touch Threadripper 1950x gold pins.

Is there any documentation from AMD about how to clean pins? I see the difference between touched pins and untouched. On this forum I found the same question, but the answer is not a documentation from AMD. Please help, in any case thank you.

There is no documentation available. If you are gentle, you could try using a ear picker to clean the contact.

usually acetone based fluid, like nail polish remover, is doing a great job

​DO NOT USE ACETONE!!!!
