The pictures say it all!
This was an "HS-1235t" and am going to replace it with a $49 "X8DTE"
No, that is not mis-applied heat sink compound. It is corrosion due to the cooling liquid.
Hopefully the new mombo will allow more than just 2 GPUs that the older one supported. Otherwise all 24 task will be doing WCG.

Oh when I saw the title I thought you might be asking a question "What can happen ... ?". However, it turned out to be a good illustration of what will happen. :-) BYW what is the cooling liquid composed of?
Processing work units with "outdated" (according to Microsoft) Ryzen 7 1700

That's the only reason I've never tried that, each of my sons gave me a closed loop system someone else didn't like, they were too bulky both of them said, and I am going to try that once I move into my new home.
I'm VERY glad you found a $49 replacement motherboard though!!! Any memory or cpu's damaged in the process?

Not sure if the x5675 is bad. I scrubbed with %99 stuff but there are 4 spots with tarnish.
I actually saw the smoke coming up out of the memory slot. I had cleaned the board, put a temporary heat sink on CPU-0, and stuffed 1 stick of ram into each of the two banks.
I don't see how the coolant got into the slot but it is the one nearest the leak so I assume it got under the connector.
Alternatively I did not let the isopropyl dry long enough and/or it affected the socket.
I was advised not to use that iso stuff on acrylic over at reddit and there was even a suggestion to soak the mombo if I had enough isopropyl. I do not know why the memory socket got damaged. I saw only smoke from melting plastic, not fire so I assume the ISO stuff did not catch on fire.
It was time for the mombo to go.

I use isopropyl too but I use the pads they use for shots not on q-tips etc, I buy them by the box and get the cheap ones, they dry pretty quickly.
I hope the cpu is fine!!!
