My friend built a PC but forgot thermal compound. His CPU literally melted onto the motnrtboard and I said he can put it in rice.

He hasn’t talked to me in 3 weeks...

    I somehow doubt that... modern cpus shut down way before serious damage can be inflicted

    @ebrithil: I though that, too. And, I guess I still do, but I actually had an incident a couple of years ago that left the CPU with ... what do you call that, heatmarks? It had some clearly blackened/darkened areas on it.

    Still worked though after I applied a new layer of thermal paste and installed a new cooler.

    That said, I'm not sure the rice method currently works reliably, as the asians the rice is supposed to attract might be under quarantine due to the corona virus... 😛

    What fucked up cpu did he use? Modern ones should most definitely shut down before things go bad bad.
