The doubt they have makes me uneasy

[Fenixmorales]

hello, well this is my first post and I'll start with a doubt that doesn't leave me at ease, last night when installing a new processor after putting on the thermal paste I noticed that the dispenser was touching the processor completely but even so I put a thermal pad on it, then when I turned it on it lasted 20 minutes fine and then it turned off all of a sudden, plus the fan was making a very loud noise which made me think that the computer was making a lot of effort, and then it turned off… So I took it apart again and removed the thermal pad, now everything works fine, but I don't know if I messed up the processor, since I applied all the pressure from the dispenser with the thermal pad to the processor, I'm afraid that I may have melted or somehow crushed the socket and even though it's working I don't know if there's any damage...

Hello and welcome

Obviously, we can't tell you if your processor has suffered any damage through divination or mental powers. What I can tell you is that if it's working well now and didn't before, it's because you had it assembled incorrectly.
What you should do now is monitor the processor temperatures (with any software for this) and check that the fan doesn't suddenly make those "efforts" to rev up more than it should (this probably happened because the processor experienced a temperature increase, the BIOS detected it and was progressively increasing the fan revolutions until it reached the dangerous temperature limit and directly turned off to avoid damage)
If the processor had been damaged directly, it wouldn't work, so from what you say it's healthy.

If the processor works, don't fix it :risitas:

Keeping in mind this maxim of computer science, you can go far :sisi:

Regarding the Thermal Pad, I assume you are referring to some squares of hardened paste that usually come incorporated in some heat sinks, so think that you simply made the mistake of putting too much thermal paste, which harms the proper functioning of the heat sink, and the possible overheating of the processor, which could turn off due to excess temperature, as I suppose happened to you.

Salu2!

I think this is what we were talking about in another post. Some heatsinks come with that thermal pad, a 'chewing gum' that is used to avoid having to put thermal paste, but it doesn't give the same result. You shouldn't mix both things because you could end up like you did.
Nowadays it's very difficult to burn a micro because they come with many protection systems (recently I tried to burn a micro, I won't say what for xD, by removing the heatsink and the only thing I managed to do is for the PC to shut down for protection)

[Fenixmorales]

No I mean internal damage if I understand the problem that has me going crazy is a possible external damage caused by the pressure between the pro and the dispenser and the "chewing gum", especially in the area of the socket

unless you have heard the 'creaking' of the base or anything else I would not worry too much if everything works

If the bios temperature protection is not deactivated, it is difficult for something to happen, but it is possible :D.

In reality, they are two fakes: they used firecrackers. There is nothing inside a processor that can make it explode, and even less so in the way they puncture the board and the table.

Hehe that doesn't say... I assure you that if they explode, not so much but yes, I tell you from experience ;D

[Kernel1.0]

I don't know, but capacitors don't have anything explosive either and they make a hell of a bang.

Jeje that doesn't say... I assure you that if they explode, not so much but yes, I tell you from experience ;D

Well I didn't know that. You learn something every day.

Capacitors have a dielectric that can produce gases.

I have seen explosions, with an athlon socket 754 if I remember correctly. The heatsink came loose, according to the speedfan log it got to over 200º and the capacitors that were around exploded.
