Go to solution Solved by TDP_Equinox,

amd stock cooler is crap the thermal paste is burned becuse of the high temps the amd fx has created

So you're telling me that the same thermal paste that i use burnt under lower temps for shorter amount of time just because it's an AMD?

No, it's dust. 

OP, your temps are fine, just clean it off and apply a little less thermal paste this time.

I removed the stock heatsink of my cpu to place a new one and came against these images :

Ty for any kind of help

Kind of looks dusty to me. This would happen if you put too much thermal paste on(the heatsink wouldn't sit evenly and dust would find its way in the space). I've never seen that happen before, but its probably what happened.

How long was the cooler on there? The thermal paste on stock coolers is really cheap and can dry out, which looks like what happened.

Maybe but when i tried to remove it was very tightly placed almost like melded to one body and needed quite the force to remove it .Dunno if it was just dust

Looks like dust intrusion..... And some thermal paste won't dry out

I can attest to some not drying out, I pulled the heatsink off my old Celeron 300A, and it was still good.

Looks more like too much was applied and the retention mechanism wasn't holding it down tight enough. Just need a dab of it the size of a grain of rice dead center of the chip. Those stock AMD heatsinks have become terrible over the last few revisions.

Looks like accumulated dirt, dust, or some organism eating the paste. Anyway just rub it off with good dose of rubbing/isopropyl alcohol and you're all good for new paste and cooler.

How organisms eat the paste? ._.

Just looks like old thermal paste and dust to me. If it's not overheating, don't worry about it.

It looks like old thermal past and dust. Clean it out thoroughly and apply a new layer.
