Long story short, nephew was trying to build his own PC. From what I understand, one got covered in anti-heating cream gunk, other did not but may have sustain damaged in some other way.
Both of these are i-9s. Thinking about putting one into a motherboard and building it. Nut before that, sort of looking at it closely, anyone have a fool-proof way to check that it's still functioning?
How can I tell if these are ruined or not?

Looks like corrosion.

No. If it's fried, it happens inside of a chip. Clean it and test it.

(If anyone has had a good enough look and thinks he has a definitive answer, please let me know. Also, sort of setting the entire fucker up with mother board, RAM, etc.., if there any way t o tell if it's in working order without going that far?
Part of me also wonders if the one with the dried crud from the anti-heating cream could be removed and possibly work.

What the fuck? How do people buy top of the line skus and manage to destroy them?

thanks for help mate. Would you say that for both or just one?

Provide more details. Did it boot after he fucked up? Is the cream conductive?

Well, obviously you need to clean just one of them and both of them may work.
That's why eBay sellers _test_ CPUs obtained via dumpster diving and not just look at them.

Sister is divorced, ex-husband buys it, more money than sense.
>Provide more details.
No man, no booting at all. He showed me noth of them, he fucked up one, then the other he was afraid to fuck up so turned over to me. The cream is just the normal friggen,,,the clear stuff you put atop the CPU to hopefully keep from overheating.
