Posted February 18, 2016 Today while replacing the old thermal paste on my cpu with some newer icy diamond thermal paste, I noticed a odd ring around my cpu block. At first i thought it was just more thermal paste so i tried scrubbing it off as i was already but it wouldnt come off. Then i noticed it looked almost like how water stains metal over time. Does anyone know what this is and if it is bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 18, 2016 Is there any evidence that water could come out of the block? Do you remember at all if it was there before? Did it feel wet(if you touched it beforehand)?
