I was able to fix the existing power connector with epoxy, it no longer loses power if I wiggle it around. And I took the CPU off and it definitely developed a bad air gap, almost a penny right in the middle of the heat spreader. I could tell because the compound had dried up there. The thermal grizzly extreme is a read color that turns a pink if it dries up so is very visually obvious. I am putting it back together with some lesser quality paste because that’s all I have until the gets here, so I will change that and the power supply out at that time. Going to switch from a Gigabyte 1000 watt to a Seasonic 1200 watt unit. So I will do all of that about a week and a half from now when everything arrives. I am going to let it burn in for a couple of hours and if it does not crash bring it back into the co-lo facility tonight.
