PC Processors

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.

I just touched the gold flat pins. This CPU haven't any tridimensional pin.

Corrected my typo.

[vichansenn]

it's ok

Anyway, have you any idea how to clean?

[Matt_AMD]

Try an ear picker?

[vichansenn]

It doesn't work

[Matt_AMD]

Can you provide a picture?

[vichansenn]

I tried to take a picture but it's impossible to see the difference.

Do I have to clean CPU if I touched the contacts?

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