I greased the socket with dielectric grease. I thought that was to make it so I didn't have condensation issues with the cpu.

If I pop the cpu out it will be greasy and so will the socket....I am not seeing how anything will dry out.

I'll try doing that, but I think I'm in the market for a cheap 555 or 720BE unfortunately.

Maybe running it at 4.5Ghz with 1.6v earlier killed it? Couldn't be. One time I set it to 1.63v long enough to get a validation awhile ago, but it lived through that.
