Accidentally squirted thermal paste on mobo and gpu

[InternetSwag]

I fat fingered the tube and got some thermal paste on my gpu and motherboard capacitor.

Quite a bit as well

Fml do I just try to wipe it off or just leave it.

What brand? Some is conductive, some not. Use alcohol and TP to clean it.

Corsair tm30

Rather clean it up

Take you Mobo, GPU, Keyboard, Mouse Screen and put it in a Showcase. Light a little candle for them...They will never be the same again.

Bro Nurse Alice doesn't do that kind of hardware instruction videos. Turn it off.

Mmm hmm. "Thermal paste". Did the motherboard give birth yet?

"Thermal paste" isn't good for your mobo or GPU - I once accidentally blew a motherboard because of a seepage of thermal paste (yes I was still a noob at the time) I learned a valuable lesson that day

Thanks guys.
I took off what I could with cotton swab as recommended.
Couldn't get everything but it's ok
PC turned on fine.
Seems OK I gamed for a bit

Will this void my warranty?

Nope, I gave back the mobo I blew and it was replaced via the warranty
