From your other thread, I'm guessing you've rebuilt.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the CPU failed on me and I messed up the motherboard during the swap process.

The CPU? I've never had that happen (yet).

Same. When I took it apart though, the paste was kind of crusty along the edges.

That leaves a (forever) unanswered question:
Did the CPU fry because the thermal paste was no longer conducting heat to the sink?
(OR)
Did the thermal paste get crusty because the CPU malfunctioned and got to hot?
In either case, use the good stuff (Artic Silver or something similar) on the next CPU. -

I had thermal throttling enabled on the motherboard, so I was under the impression getting to hot was not possible (for too long anyway) and the system would just run at slower speeds. I had used MX-4 and installed it in mid 2017, and the system only had about 35k hours on it before this failure.
I've since purchased thermal grizzly as my replacement as I'm not sure this MX-4 paste is still good in the tube. Also after seeing what it turned into, I'm not sure I even wanted to use it again even if it wasn't expired.
