Can a dry thermal paste generate hardware problems such as not having reflected the temperatures of the hashboards in the mining interface or not recognizing the cards? I kept my miner off for almost 1 month for lack of a fancooler which stopped working, after I bought the spare I started the problem that I recognized the temperature of some cards if and others, sometimes it shows almost all the "x" in your cards, however you know that the asics are not damaged since their count is kept at "40" for each card (it is an antminer s4) there are also occasions that shows all the chips in "o" but does not raise power, sometimes the restart and reaches 500 ghs, a while ago remove the dissipators and I realized that the thermal paste is very dry, I do not know if the previous owners changed it sometime or if it is the original pasta (if so and taking into account that the antminer s4 was released to the public in 2014 and it would be enough time with that thermal paste not?) After having put the heatsinks again (without changing the thermal paste since I still do not buy it) I turned on the antminer and it reached 2100 ghs and there it remained, as it had reset previously, I had lost its configuration with the pool so I put it back and when it rebooted it returned to the previous state, recognizing the temperature of some cards and not others, some people told me that this may be due to the thermal paste and that I have to change it, now brothers of the forum, is it possible that this problem is generating the thermal paste?
What would be the correct way to remove the old thermal paste from the chips without these being affected?
