    If that is thermal compound/grease/pad residue, could you carefully clean it off with WD40 and then take another pic?


    Doesn't look too bad, P3s generally hang the machine anyways before they burn up.

    eh i've put the processor back under the heat sink but i should be able to remove it at some stage and get a bit of WD40, what do i wipe it with anything in particular? it could take me a while to get another picture up, the computer i'm running has no usb i'm afraid :).

    In response to the other questions i think the pins are fine it seats nicely in the socket and then kinda tightens up when the lever is pressed down, and i don't think it is warped probably just the angle i took it at.

    i was wondering is there some kinda of scraping that can kinda be seen on the top or is this perhaps some grease that has been removed?

    syspak by hang the machine do you mean? not letting the power supply and hsf not power up properly when the computer is turned on as this is what is happening?
