Today I was testing the RAM of a friend in my PC and since I had it opened up anyway, I thought I could renew my thermal paste as well. When removing the block from the CPU, I saw this:

Small hole with green and white corrosion
Big blob of white corrosion

To me, this looks like corrosion. The AiO is roughly 6 years old, so it’s nearing its end of life anyway, but is that normal? Should I still use this?

Thanks for any advice.

    I don’t know of any, but I don’t keep up with the world of liquid cooling. Water is usually the most common, since it is cheap and has reliable performance.
