Hi all

Had a bit of an accident with some generic heat transfer compound (basically
I squeezed the tube too hard and it went all over the CPU, an AMD XP2000+ .
Anyhow I tried cleaning it off with a soft, lint free cloth (no iso. alcohol
etc. available) and installed it on an Abit NF7-S. Anyhow no boot so I put a
spare Duron 1.2 GHz in the socket (the PC's not going to be used for gaming
etc. so quite adequate).

As I know the CPU was working, in the Abit board, I'm thinking that if I
could remove all the HTC (using iso. alcohol, white spirit etc.) if the CPU
could be *resurrected* or if, as I suspect, it just needs to be binned?

TIA

Why wouldn't you try?....Send it to me I'm sure its toast..I'll use it for I keychain i swear.. :^)
 
Yea why not? And I'll give you £50 to take it of my hands . . . <g> But
first I think I'll get hold of some white spirit or similar and have a go
with this.
