So I took off my heatsink to clean it and after the clean, I was a little short on thermal paste. The thermal paste I've been using was really crappy and was kind of solid when applying. As I was short of some, I mixed the remaining with a drop of vegetable oil and put it all back together. Now the system boots up fine and everything seems normal, including the temps. Temps are a little less now about 3-4 C less.
Am I safe with this vegetable oil mix? I am using it right now
