    I have an ASUS Rog Strix B450-F , that cost me over E120, not long after i got it i had some issues.. I got the error USB over current on bootup, so i took it out and took out the cpu only to get some thermal paste on the socket. I've since replaced the motherboard altogether but was hoping to recoup something from it. Yes i know i'm stupid btw.

    Will it sell if i throw it on ebay? whats a fair price?

    Why would anyone buy a broken motherboard?

    Aye he might get a tenner for it if someone thinks they can fix it, beyond that no hope.

    Can the thermal paste not just be cleaned off with some distilled water or some sort of alcohol no? Or did u turn it back on and short something?
