Exposing the copper on a CPU chip, will it lead to CPU damage?

[Miracle199401]

Will the CPU eventually burn out?

CPU: 5800H
GPU: RTX 3070 Laptop

at this level of exposure, it appears to be ok, but what are you trying to do? i wouldnt keep going

...What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Playing games for an extended period.The CPU will operate at higher temperatures.

I want to know if playing games for an extended period can eventually cause the CPU to burn out.

Running the CPU hotter does decrease its lifespan, but modern CPU's have controls to prevent them from burning up in an instant.

 

Now that you've disassebled and seemingly scraped all over the surface of the chip though, you may get worse performance with the stock cooler, as the cooler will make worse contact with the CPU.

All those scratches on the surface are going to make heat transfer very difficult.

 

Why did you decide to wear down your CPU rather than just upgrading the TIM to liquid metal?

No. That's not a thing - at least not since around the year 2000. Modern CPUs have safeguards in place that prevent them from getting too hot under normal operating conditions, they are full of temperature sensors and will downclock or even shut off the system before they allow themselves to burn out. And that's even before you get to the fact that gaming is generally a pretty light workload for a modern CPU when compared to other workloads like rendering and compilation - which CPUs are designed to be able to do 24/7 for years without issues.

Physically mangling the poor thing will ruin it a hell of a lot faster.

[Hinjima]

I am thoroughly confused.

Sadly due to Quantum tunneling there is a pretty significant chance of the CPU in question, The Ryzen 7 5800H Designed by Advanced Micro Devices and Produced by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited, Not being harmed in any way whatsoever.

When I first opened it, it was already like this. I frequently move this laptop, so using liquid metal isn't very stable.

All jokes aside; stop what you're doing before you break something. Put new paste on it and put it back together.

[Miracle199401]

 

I've reassembled it, and now it's running well.

Put it under a full load on both the CPU and GPU.

ok, but seriously. its broken i don't think you can use this... thing.

 

if it wasn't you return to seller, good luck.

I don't see any cpu in your picture, there is a nvidia gpu, a scratched to hell heatsink copper baseplate and some cement.

 

Unless the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H is somehow made by Nvidia.

This is part of the CPU.

What happened with the picture after the GPU? Is that from the heatsink? Why is it so gouged up?

it is heatsink,used a screwdriver to clean.

WTF?!
That's NOT how you clean thermal paste.... literally paper towel (or a cloth / rag) + isopropyl alcohol (i.e. rubbing alcohol). 

Okay, so it's on you, not the seller for gouging up the copper baseplate and the CPU / GPU die.

Why did you use a screwdriver to clean the copper base? Were you not aware that it was probably going to gouge it?

Some silicone grease couldn't be cleaned, so I used a screwdriver.I think it's okay. just  heatsink.

Only the heat sink was cleaned with a screwdriver, while a alcohol cloth was used for the CPU.
