i have a cpu i bought as a bundle from MM and pc stopped booting ...so i am starting to test parts in another pc i have but have come upon a problem...the cpu has been delidded and which i was not told about as would not have bought.

So what i wanna do is test this in another board....but with the cpu coming away from the top part it had what looked to me as normal paste between the 2 parts...nor from what i have read it looks like the wrong stuff was used i am not sure but to just test it can i use a little artic silver to see if the cpu works....
or is this to see if it boots then order the correct stuff....anyone got a idea thanks
