So my guess is the cpu is fried then? I also noticed some slight discoloration on the cpu core when I reapplied the arctic silver 5 the second time. It was like a portion of it was a little more darker but only slightly.
Could not get a close up on the CPU, could not get good focus up close.
The first couple of shots are with the arctic silver still on the heat sink and the CPU.
HSF:
CPU:
Both the heatsink and the cpu had a bare spot or very thin area of arctic silver that isn't even with the rest of it(can't see it on the heatsinkfrom bad lighting, it's the light spot) but was or seemed to be coated over and even when I applied it.
