Okay i was disassembling my old dell computer from around 2001 and as i lifted the massive aluminum heatsink the pentium processor easily came off. The adhesive on the processor seemed liquidy and goopy to the touch and it got on my hands before i wiped it off. What exactly is this adhesive made of, and is it toxic???
It's not glue, it's thermal grease to aid in CPU heat dissipation and to fill any gaps in the heat sink's flat metal bottom. Basically silicone with metals suspended in it. Non-toxic, wash your hands and you are good;) To clean it off, you can use rubbing alcohol just to rub it off. Always apply more if you are updating your cooling. Look up vids online for a video idea of how to apply it but its just a smidge on the cpu and the heatsink pressing it down flattens it out.
