He didn't even get to put the LM...
But yeah, testing under load with no TIM you're pretty much guaranteed to fry it, heck people even fry their cards when replacing TIM just because the die had a small spot that wasn't properly covered.
If you wanted to test before applying the LM it should have been at most power on, if POST screen appears it's ok, turn off straight away.
