Well....cleaning the cpu was easy obviously, but with limited supplies on hand here is what I did.

I tipped the board so the alcohol would run right off the end and scrubbed the socket with a toothbrush. Then to get the grease out I used, of all things, my mouth to blow compressed air through the socket and I repeated the procedure several times.

Now in the picture I am blow drying the socket with the Vantec Tornado.

Until the next episode...............

Cleaning and drying did not help, using just rubbing alcohol, a toothbrush and blowing the stuff out of the socket with my mouth. I went and bought QD electronics cleaner and a can of spray air. If it won't work after this cleaning I am buying a 965BE from the egg and try to RMA this 1055T. I'm sick of the stupid locked multiplier anyways. And if it's not the chip I guess it must be the board What a mess.
